“It is an opportunity for Turkey. We will continue to have trade with Iran while complying with the UN resolutions on nuclear activities,” Zeybekçi said when answering questions at the Anadolu Agency’s Editors’ Desk in the capital Ankara.
“We believe in this: The stronger Iran gets in this region, the stronger Turkey becomes as well, and the stronger Turkey becomes, the stronger Iran gets as well,” Zeybekçi added.
