Erdogan, Rouhani hold talks in Ankara

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani held talks Saturday with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the capital, Ankara. 

The two sides stressed the importance of fighting terrorism as a common threat to all regional countries and the entire world, Press TV reported Sunday.

Erdogan said that there are some differences of opinion between Iran and Turkey on regional issues, adding, however, that the two sides seek an end to the bloodshed in Iraq and Syria. 

The two presidents met a day after the conclusion of the 13th summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in the Turkish city of Istanbul.

Rouhani and Erdogan co-chaired the high-level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting following bilateral talks. 

Iranian and Turkish officials also signed eight documents for cooperation in various fields in the presence of Rouhani and Erdogan.
