“Iran is our very important neighbor. Stability in Iran has great influence on the stability of the whole region. Turkey will support every step taken in this direction,” Davutoglu said.

The two officials discussed the situation in Iran, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as other regional issues during dinner in Istanbul.
