Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu is placing much importance on his visit to Iran on March 4-6. The trip is Turkey's first official visit to Iran since the lifting of international sanctions following the nuclear deal, and it also follows the recent election in Turkey's neighbor, won by reformists.

Six months after the breakthrough deal between Iran and the P5+1 group in July 2015, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency, declared on Jan. 16 that Iran has complied with the initial requirements of the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action." As a result, the U.N. sanctions on Iran and its international isolation are ending after several decades.
