Abstract

The present study is a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of Iran-Turkey
relationships in a historical framework. For this purpose, the political and economic
ties between the two countries are examined in depth by taking into consideration
the historical changes in their political attitudes towards each other and the trade ties
that are affected by many factors. The study also analyzes any determinants that
shape the mutual understanding and economic relationships between them.
Moreover, it seeks to evaluate any trade barriers and obstacles that impede the free
flow of imports and exports. This study argues that the relationships between Iran
and Turkey is mainly informed by their regional and international policies and
political attitudes towards each other which fluctuates between rivalry and
partnership. Finally, the future prospect of the relationship between them is closely
analyzed and some suggestions in terms of economic relations and political
considerations are proposed to empower their ties and facilitate their trade
transactions.
