    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Islamic Republic of Iran has supported
    Turkey's membership at the EU in the past and will do in the future,"
    Hosseinpour said in a meeting with Turkish State Secretary Egemen
    Baghish.

    He hailed the growing ties between Tehran and Ankara over the past
    10 years.

    "Iran and Turkey can expand cooperation to resolve regional
    problems. There is no need for interference of foreign countries,"
    the Iranian diplomat said.

    Baghish stressed the importance of expanding bilateral economic ties
    and said the two countries should take steps toward enhancing the
    level of economic cooperation to 20 billion dollars.

    He said Iran's support for Turkey's membership at the EU would
    accelerate the process.

    He urged Tehran and Ankara to exchange views on regional woes including
    developments in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as the campaign
    against terrorism and illicit drugs.

    He expressed hope to pay a visit to Iran in the near future to explore
    ways for bolstering mutual ties, turkishny.com reported.
