Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and visiting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu hold talks in Tehran on mutual relations and the latest developments in the Middle East, particularly the Syrian crisis, Press TV reported.
Davutoglu arrived in Tehran at the head of a high-ranking political and economic delegation Friday night for a two-day official visit.
Iran’s Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri earlier on Saturday officially received Davutoglu in Tehran. During a joint news conference with Jahangiri, the Turkish premier said Tehran and Ankara must develop a “common perspective” in order to help end the crises plaguing the region.

The visit comes about a month-and-a-half after the U.S. and EU announced the lifting of international sanctions on Iran following the International Atomic Energy Agency’s declaration that the country is complying with its nuclear-related obligations agreed last summer.

Davutoglu said that both sides desired friendly and neighborly relations given their deep-rooted historical bonds.
Turkey and Iran share a 650 kilometer (404 mile) long border, which has not changed since the last three centuries, he said.
