On Thursday, Turkey's new Ambassador to Tehran Reza Hakan Tekin in a meeting with Iranian Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mahmoud Vaezi underlined that his country doesn’t receive any permission from foreign states for broadening its relations with Iran.

Iran in addition to being a neighbor, having long joint borders and deep age-old, cultural and political ties is a trade partner of Turkey as well, Hakan Tekin said during the meeting in Tehran.

For the expansion of relations and cooperation with Iran, Turkey will not receive permission from any country outside the region, he added.

Vaezi, for his part, said that relations between Iran and Turkey should not be halted due to subsidiary issues, adding that through constant meetings and direct talks measures should be taken to remove impediments.
