1/3
In the 1980s and 1990s, Iran was both supporting PKK terrorism and trying
to export its theocratic regime to secular-democratic Turey! Thus, Iran
was seen by the Turish security establishment "mainly the military# as
posing a $ital threat to the existence o% the Turish state! The resurgence
o% PKK terrorism in Turey along with the rise o% a Kurdish mo$ement inIran since the &00' Ira(i war, howe$er, seem to ha$e united the two
countries against the commonly percei$ed threat) they ha$e a common
interest in the protection o% Ira(*s territorial integrity!Iran, once supporti$e
o% the PKK, has been %acing security problems in its Kurdish-populated
+orth! Iran*s million population includes nearly million Kurds, many o%
whom are located in the +ortheast, bordering Ira( and Turey! Pe.a, a
Kurdish rebel group in Iran regarded by Iranian authorities as lined to the
PKK, has been attacing Iranian security %orces) Iran has become
increasingly cooperati$e against the PKK and has been initiating military
operations against the Pe.a! /$er the past years, Turey and Iran ha$e
also impro$ed their economic relations by signing a - year contract %or the
sale o% 10 billion cubic meters o% Iranian natural gas!
In une &00, the 2P go$ernment congratulated the newly elected
conser$ati$e Iranian leader 3ahmud 4hmadine.ad %or his electoral $ictory
o$er the re%ormist President 3ohammad Khatami, and expressed Turey*s
willingness to impro$e bilateral relations with Iran! 5Impro$ing relations
with neighboring countries is a priority %or Turey,6 noted 7oreign 3inister
l! That conser$ati$es ha$e come to power in Iran seems unliely tostrain secular Turey*s relations with Iran at this time, because the
resurgence o% PKK terrorism is seen as a more $isible and more immediate
threat than that posed by Islamic reactionism in Turey! 4 %ormer Turish
diplomat, Ilter Trmen, commented that 5Iranian elections were a
disappointment, gi$en the hopes o% the Iranian society %or re%orm! :ut it is
unliely that Iran will tae up an ad$enturous %oreign policy stance similar
to the policies o% the 1980s!
In 4ugust &00, the Iranian 7oreign 3inistry declared that 5Iran is
cooperating with neighboring Turey against terrorism, and this
cooperation will continue in the %uture!6&9 In 2ecember &00, Iranian
7oreign 3inister 3anouchehr 3ottai $isited Turey seeing to strengthen
bilateral relations)'0 in 7ebruary &00, Turey and Iran entered into acti$e
bilateral cooperation in the ;ght against terrorism and signed a
3emorandum o%

by declaring, 5I can state that we*re in %ull agreement concerning ha$ing
tight and absolute cooperation against PKK terror and .ointly ;ghting
against any PKK acti$ity in the region!6''
Turish-Iranian cooperation against the PKK notwithstanding, Iran*s
nuclear program may be a potential source o% tension in Turish-Iranian
relations) the Turish military and the 2P go$ernment do not support
Iran*s nuclear ambitions! 5Turey regards the presence o% nuclear weapons
and their proli%eration as a serious security threat,6 obser$ed Turish
7oreign 3inister l!'? 5Turey supports Iran*s use o% nuclear power %or
peace%ul means,6 l remared! 5>owe$er, the Iranian leadership must
openly show its goodwill and con$ince the international community @that it
is not pursuing a nuclear weapons programA!6 :oth l and Prime 3inisterBrdogan also disappro$ed o% Iranian President 4hmadine.ad*s contro$ersial
remars on Israel, to the eCect that the country should be wiped oC the

5Turey does not want any country in its region possessing nuclear
weapons!
