He said that Iran and Turkey relations have entered new phases, adding that the chief of the general staff of Turkey Hulusi Akar will pay visit to Tehran in the near future in response to his Iranian counterpart Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri visit to Ankara.

Qasemi said that the Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an will also pay visit to Iran in the near future, expressing hope that the visits deepen ties at all levels.
