Earlier, Turkish President Abdullah Gul in a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani underlined the need to remove obstacles to further expansion of economic ties with Iran and boost trade cooperation between the two countries.
"The level of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries is not appropriate in view of the age-old ties between the two nations and we should remove the obstacles to the development of mutual cooperation between Iran and Turkey," Gul said at the time.
