Some
of Turkey's airports are refusing to refuel Iranian passenger planes even though
Ankara had protested several times the US sanctions imposed against Iran.
The
head of Iran Air said: “Our planes are refueled in some Turkish airports and
refused fuel in others. We are conducting talks on the issue.”
Turkey
is one of Iran’s main partners in the region and large numbers of tourists travel
to Turkey from Iran every year; although their numbers have dropped
significantly following unprecedented spikes in the price of foreign currency.
