Turkeys Hakan Fidan is focus of interest in Iran
Speculation continues in Iran over Turkeys new policies toward its neighbouring countries, just over one month after the re-election of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Last week, Farsi media focused on Turkeys newly appointed foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, and his role in shaping Ankaras foreign policy in recent years.
Before his appointment to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fidan served for 13 years as the director of Turkeys National Intelligence Organisation.
The Telegram channel, Afsaran_ir, which is close to Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), welcomed the new appointment in Turkey, highlighting Fidans anti-Israel policies.
The channel claimed that Fidan had developed close ties with the IRGC after Israels forces raided the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2010.
