TEHRAN – The historical and cultural affinities between Turkey and Iran were discussed during a meeting at Yunus Emre Institute in Tehran on Thursday.
The director of the institute, Mehmet Selim Özban, and Iranian scholar Alireza Dadashzadeh delivered speeches at the meeting, which was attended by a large number of Iranian tour guides.
Kapadokya (Cappadocia), a Turkish tourist resort located in Central Anatolia, was introduced at the meeting.
Kapadokya is best known for its unique moon-like landscape, underground cities, cave churches and houses carved in the rocks.
Dadashzadeh said that only the U.S. and Iran enjoy sites like Kapadokya.
“Iran’s tourist attractions are unique,” he stated and called on the tour guides to visit the Iranian villages of Meimand in Kerman Province and Kandovan in East Azarbaijan Province before Kapadokya.
