MAJOR BARRIERS THAT DETERMINE IRAN-TURKEY TRADE AGENDA

Öz

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.
