Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Tehran on Tuesday to participate in the inauguration ceremony of Iran's President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.

A few days ago, columnist Nevşin Mengü wrote an excellent piece in this newspaper, "Iran's Turkish question," (HDN, Nov. 22). Ms. Mengü wrote that she was wandering around a historic caravansary outside Kashan in Iran where a young man said there was no such language as Turkish as "Turkish was a dialect of Farsi."
