The
Turkish government has been hosting Iran's top diplomat, in a move seen
as a shift in foreign policy after last month's failed coup.
Turkey has been unhappy with the West’s muted response to the coup and frustrated with continued criticism of its human rights record.
The Iranian foreign Minister's visit comes just days after Turkey's President historic trip to Russia, during which he very publicly made up with Vladimir Putin after the shooting down of a Russian fighter plane on the Turkish-Syria border last year.
So many are asking whether these moves mark a shift in Turkey's global alliances AND what impact will they have on the war in neighbouring Syria?
