Turkey and Iran have agreed on sharing intelligence and cooperating operationally in the fight against terror, Iran's Chief of Staff Gen. Mohammad Bagheri said on Thursday.
"We agreed on joint training and student exchange. The Navies of the two countries will visit each other. The countries will provide observers in military drills," Hurriyet Daily News reported.
The General said that his talks with Turkish officials went "very successfully", and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Iran soon.
Saying about the much-debated independence referendum to be held by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq on September 25, Bagheri said it would be the beginning to new tensions and would affect neighboring countries negatively.
Bagheri arrived on Tuesday in Ankara for talks with Turkey's leadership reportedly aimed at narrowing differences on the Syria crisis and coordinating policy on Iraq.
