President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

A message of friendship from the people of Iran

Your Excellency, the bond between Iranians and Turks runs deeper than politics — it is written in poetry, woven into carpets, and passed down through generations.

For centuries, our peoples have shared art, music, cuisine, and wisdom. Rumi wrote in Persian but found his home in Anatolia. Our languages carry words borrowed from each other. Our histories are intertwined in ways no border can undo.

Millions of Iranians speak Turkic languages — Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, and others flourish across Iran. This living heritage connects our nations at the deepest level. We are not just neighbors; we are family.

Today, millions of Iranians visit Turkey each year. They come for the beauty, the hospitality, and the sense of familiarity they feel among Turkish friends. This is not mere tourism — it is love expressed through travel.

A free Iran will be a gateway connecting Turkey to Central Asia. Imagine trade routes flowing from Istanbul through Tehran to the Turkic nations of the east. Iran's geography is a bridge, not a barrier — and a free Iran will finally fulfill this natural role.

For decades, the Ayatollahs and their terrorist proxies have assassinated every national alternative before it could rise. @PahlaviReza remains. Millions see in him the symbol of unity and the promise of a modern, free Iran governed by its people.

When Iranians are free, Turkish tourists will explore the wonders of Isfahan, Shiraz, and Persepolis. The bazaars of both nations will thrive with trade. Our economies will grow together, creating jobs and opportunity for young people on both sides.
