Iran's top diplomat to visit Turkey in post-disaster diplomacy
The top Iranian and Turkish diplomats are also expected to discuss the Syrian, Nagorno-Karabakh and bilateral files during their meeting.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced Tuesday that Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian would pay a visit to Turkey in solidarity after the twin earthquakes.
Amir-Abdollahian, who will travel to Turkey on Wednesday, is expected to meet with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in Ankara and then travel to Adiyaman, one of the provinces hardest hit by the Feb. 6 killer earthquakes, the official statement said.
Turkey’s southeastern neighbor was one of the first countries to dispatch humanitarian aid and rescue workers to the country after the temblors killed more than 46,100 people.
During their meeting in Ankara, the two top diplomats are also expected to discuss bilateral and regional issues including ongoing Russian-led efforts to hold a fresh round of high-level talks between Ankara and Damascus.
