Iran, Turkey planning to hold joint conference

First Iran-Turkey Conference focusing on West Azarbaijan province will be held here from October 4-7, said head of the provincial Commerce Organization.
Talking to IRNA, Jafar Sadeq Eskandari added that the event will seek to facilitate commercial exchanges between the two neighboring states.
