ANKARA DISPLEASED BY DEVELOPMENT OF IRANIAN-ARMENIAN RELATIONS
The policy pursued by Teheran towards Armenia and Azerbaijan, "hinders" the development of the Turkish-Iranian relations, stated defense minister of Turkey Vecdi Gonul, "Mediamax" agency reported. In his words, Iran's attempts to "export" its revolution abroad and contradictory approaches of that country to combating terrorism are factors that complicate the Turkish-Iranian relations. The Turkish minister also stated that Iran's potential for creation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons threatens the regional security.
