“COMMON CULTURE LINKS TURKEY AND IRAN”
In his speech, Iranian Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technologies, Chairman and General Manager of Iran Postal Administration Dr. Mahmoud Liaei emphasized that the relations between the two countries have a deep-rooted history and said, “The relations between Turkey and Iran have a long history in the history of the two countries and cannot be limited only to our age. For years, the two countries, Turkey and Iran, have moral and emotional ties and relations. This is clearly seen in the culture and art of the two nations. Throughout history, political ups and downs could not separate the two nations. In fact, the element of ‘common culture’ has been a complement to the relations that bind the two nations together.”
