Relations Between Turkey and Iran During the Justice and
Devolopment Party Era
Abstract
It is well known that geopolitical positions in the Middle East influence the political orientations of states. In this contex, new dynamics have emerged in the foreign political relations between Turkey and Iran. This article outlines the stages of cooperation between the two countries, prospects for development during the rule of the Justice and Development Party, as well as, mutual relations with other states and underlying causes. Despite the occasional crises between Iran and Turkey, relations have become stronger during the Justice and Development Party era. This period has seen an increase in diplomatic relations, economic and energy relations between the countries. Regional cooperation has shown that the resources of states should be spent on partnership, not war. Despite different ideologies and strategies, Tehran and Ankara are striving to strengthen and maintain relations.
