In the Syrian War they stood on opposite sides
Both countries supported the opposite parties in the long -term civil war in Syria. Turkey deserved the unexpected fall of the authoritarian regime of President Bashar Assad, who was a long -time ally Tehran and ran to Moscow on 8 December. Power in Syria was taken over by the rebel group Hajat Tahrír Ash (HTS) headed by the current leader of the country Ahmad Šar.
At the end of the same month, representatives of Turkey and Iran first met in Cairo, Egypt. On Saturday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Aragči by phone. The topic was bilateral questions and “the situation in Palestine,” said Anadol, referring to diplomatic sources.
