Turkish Academics to Visit Iran in May
An official at Tarbiat Modarres University of Tehran Arghavani said the Iranian academics had held talks with chancellors or vice- chancellors of the universities on expansion of mutual cultural cooperation, IRNA reported.
Arghavani said such visits would serve as a step towards expansion of cultural and scientific cooperation between Iran and Turkey.
"Definitely, such trips would consolidate bases for close ties between Iranian and Turkish scientists and scholars," said Arghavani.
A group of Iranian academics from Tarbiat Modarres University too are in Turkey since last week on a 10-day tour to inspect different Turkish universities in the coming days, said Iran's cultural attache in Ankara Abolhassan Khalaj-Monfared here on Friday.
