Turkish PM Erdogan visits Tajikistan

Pointing to a current bilateral trade volume worth some $50 million, Erdogan predicted that by the end of next year that sum would rise to $250 million. The Afghanistan and Iraq issues were also be taken up during the meetings, said Erdogan. In the evening, Tajik President Imamali Rahmanov hosted a banquet in Erdogan’s honor. Rahmanov expressed his pleasure at improved relations with Turkey, calling it “our friend,” adding that on Erdogan’s invitation, he would soon pay an official visit to Ankara.
