[Shahab3]

Ministerpresident Erdogan ist auf einem zweitägigen Staatsbesuch im Iran. Die iranischen Medien stellen es so dar als ginge es vordergründig um eine engere wirtschaftlicher Kooperation. Tatsächlich kommt er vor allem um den Iranern niedrigere Gaspreise abzuringen. Erdogans Verhandlungssituation ist stark, da die Türkei einer der wenigen Zugänge des Iran zu Banken und Zahlungsmitteln ist.

Analysts said the main focus of Erdogan's visit was expanding economic cooperation, finessing any political disputes for now. "Considering that the economy and energy ministers are accompanying Erdogan, we can say this trip is business-targeted," said Tehran-based analyst Hossein Foroughi.
...
Erdogan's delegation repeated Turkey's demand for a discount on the price of natural gas from Iran, a senior Turkish official said. A senior Iranian official then told Reuters: "This issue was discussed but further talks will take place on the issue of discount. No decision has been made yet."

the potential of a market of 76 million people in Iran with some of the world's biggest oil and gas reserves is a magnet for foreign investors, including Turkish companies.

"We hope the process will be finalized with an agreement that will ensure the removal of all sanctions on Iran. Turkey has so far done its best in that regard and will continue to do so," Erdogan told reporters in Ankara before he flew to Tehran.

Iranian officials say trade between the countries stood at $22 billion (16.2 billion euros) in 2012, before dipping to $20 billion in 2013, and that it should reach $30 billion in 2015.
