On the one hand, Turkey and Iran are countries which have grounds for dissatisfaction and, on the other hand, they aspire to become leaders in the Muslim world. 

CIS Institute Director Konstantin Zatulin told the abovementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am, as he commented on Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s forthcoming visit to Turkey.

Zatulin added that the Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh issue pushes Turkey and Iran away from one another because Iran develops friendly relations with Armenia, whereas Turkey continues its blockade imposed upon Armenia.

“Hence, in the case when their approach toward Israel brings these countries closer, their approach toward Armenia, in all probability, pushes them away [from each other].  

“[But] I do not believe that Iran would change its approach toward Armenia for the sake of some rapprochement with Turkey,” Konstantin Zatulin concluded.
