Ankara has held high level meetings with leaders from Russia and Iran within the space of a week.
The Turkish government has hosted Iran's top diplomat, in a move seen as a shift in foreign policy after last month's failed coup attempt.
Turkey has been unhappy with the West’s muted response to the coup bid and frustrated with continued criticism of its human rights record.
The Iranian foreign minister's visit came just days after a meeting by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, during which the two leaders agreed to normalise ties after the shooting down of a Russian fighter plane on the Turkish-Syria border last year.
