â€œThese meetings are important for all three countriesâ€ â€“ the minister underlined.

Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet DavutoÄŸlu noted that the trilateral meeting positively impacts the regional relations. According to the minister, 4 subcommittees will hold meeting in the coming months.

â€œTurkey, Azerbaijan and Iran have already taken important steps toward the deepening of the regional relations. Besides the meeting of the foreign ministers in Van, the meeting will be also held with participation of businessmen from the three countries. The customs procedures will also be consideredâ€, - said DavutoÄŸlu.

The ministers hoped that the conflicts in Caucasus will be settled soon.

Ali Akbar Salehi noted that the three countries have historical ties: â€œWe are one soul in three bodies. Of course, all this is reflected in the agreements reached by the three countries. We continue our consultations on a regular basis.â€

The Minister noted that in general more than 170 million people live in the three countries and together they can create a large market.
