I believe Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are three major countries in the region with special positions. Saudi Arabia is home to the Qibla (direction towards which Muslims perform their daily prayers) for 1.5 billion world Muslims; the birth place of our Prophet (P), and the land for which the hearts of all Muslims beat,” Salehi said in a dinner banquet thrown by the Palestinian ambassador in the honor of the new Saudi Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Iyad Madani who is visiting Tehran now.
“Iran, too, is highly significant geopolitically and Turkey is great from the historical and many other points of the view, and these three countries’ cooperation will be highly important and beneficial,” he added.
Salehi said that despite the differences of opinion that these three countries have with each other those differences should not be permitted to lead to further distancing of them from one another, knowing that there are lots of points on which they can reach agreement about them.
