Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi announced that the country has lifted a ban on the dispatch of tourists to neighboring Turkey, Tasnim News Agency reports.
Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Saturday, Qassemi said Iranian travel agencies can resume their activities in Turkey and they are no longer banned from dispatching Iranian nationals to Turkey.
Lifting the ban does not preclude travel agencies’ responsibility for providing due services for Iranian tourists, the spokesman stressed.
He further pointed to a day-long visit to Turkey by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday, saying that the trip was “constructive and in line with the interests of the two nations.”
