Your Highness,

Thank you for your kind message. The people of Turkey appreciate your well wishes and while we may differ in ideology we wish only greatness for the great Iranian people as well.

The situation in Syria, Afghanistan and the Middle East in general is among the President's and my list of greatest concerns for this first and likely future term of our new government. As two countries that have throughout history been brokers of power in the area, I agree that Turkish-Iranian coordination can act as a force for stability in the area. As such I agree to your proposed establishment of formal relations and invite an Iranian representative to meet with myself in Ankara.

Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs,

we already started to establish ties between our countries with the former government of your honorable State. As a blessed constitutional Monarchy we did not so because of a natural sympathy for the former type of government in your country but because of the importance and benefit for both our states, we believe a good relation and maybe even cooperation between Iran and Türkiye would bring.
Therefore I want to express my highest regards for your new government, a situation my own government, the Haxāmanišya's great dynasty and my country knows from recent history itself.
We hope to continue with your government the path between the Kingdom of Èran and Türkiye, in mutual cooperation and diplomatic recognition. Therefore we would like to offer the exchange of ambassadors and embays in both our capitals.
As my country wishes to come to agreement for stability, peace and security in the region, and its our deep conviction, that such is not possible without an good relationship between both our honorable nations.

Sincerely,

Your Excellency Prime Minister Ràba, On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Türkiye, I extend my sincere gratitude for your kind message of congratulations and warm words following the recent elections. We are particularly honored by the good wishes conveyed by His Majesty the Sha’an’Sha Gustàsp III. Please convey to His Majesty our profound appreciation for his gracious recognition. Türkiye and the Kingdom of Èran are heirs to ancient civilizations whose legacies continue to shape the cultural and strategic fabric of our region. We are proud of the deep historical bonds between our peoples, and I am personally eager to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between our two sovereign nations. I would like to say that I plan to consult with President Abdullah Gül and request that a formal invitation be extended to His Majesty the King for an official state visit to Türkiye at a mutually convenient time. In the meantime, it would be our pleasure and honor to welcome you, Prime Minister, to Ankara for an official working visit. Such an occasion would provide a timely opportunity to further deepen our diplomatic dialogue. Türkiye warmly welcomes the appointment of Wispuhran Ali Dārayavauš as Ambassador of the Kingdom of Èran to the Republic of Türkiye. His background and close association with His Majesty are deeply respected, and we look forward to receiving him in Ankara. In the spirit of shared regional responsibility, we believe our two nations must enhance cross-border cooperation to address security threats that affect both our peoples. In particular, we are concerned about the activities of the PKK and its affiliated networks operating across borders, including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), whose destabilizing influence warrants joint vigilance. We also believe the time is ripe to initiate discussions toward a bilateral trade agreement that would lay the groundwork for greater economic integration and prosperity for both our nations. I look forward to engaging with you, Prime Minister, in pursuit of these common goals, and to building a productive and enduring partnership between Türkiye and the Kingdom of Èran. With my highest regards, Ayşe Çiller Prime Minister Republic of Türkiye

For his Majesty the Sha'an'Sha I will send him your gracious invitation for a state visit and his court office will let your government know his Answer, but I am confident in the pleasant and positive response of his Majesty Gustasp III.

I would delegate recent talks for actions in cooperation against the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) to our Ambassador, as soon as he arrives at Ankyra. While closer and more long term aimed talks for cross-border cooperation to address the security threats by the PKK, I would be happy to conduct at my work visit.

Your Excellency, Prime Minister Ràba, The deepening bond between our two peoples I believe, will enable a shared vision of a Turkic-Iranian partnership to serve as a guardian of regional peace and prosperity. Please convey my humble respects to His Majesty Sha'an'Sha Gustasp III. It would be a privilege beyond measure to host His Majesty in Ankara for a state visit, and I await the response of the Court Office with great anticipation. In such times as ours, the symbolism and substance of such high-level engagement cannot be overstated. I am equally heartened by your readiness to conduct a working visit to Türkiye.

It was an rainy end of an day in Ankyra as newly appointed ambassador Lord Ali Dārayavauš, one of the few government officials of the Iranian government that shared a direct link in old friendship since childhood to the Sha himself, arrived in his government ATR 72 Plane.

Accompanied by a small staff of 40 people, 10 of which are security personal from the Anûšiya, he arrived at his new post while not only the shaken Turkish economy but the worlds was struggling in an oncoming depression.

While his office was firstly tasked with establishing preparations for the state Visit of Prime Minister Ràba and the talks with his Turkish counterpart Çiller, the talking points already established, in the wake of this increasingly economic and security state of the region, he would do more than just preparing.

Therefore after settling in his office, at first not only the ceremonial accreditation of his status as accepted ambassador by the Turkish government would follow, but also an request for an appointment with Foreign Affairs Minister Sümeyye Boz Çakı. Both to start preparations for the upcoming exchange of diplomacy on the highest levels between both Prime Ministers, but more so also to seek out immediately possibilities of cooperation.

The rain had not stopped since morning, as a gray curtain draped across the city of Ankara. The streets glistened with water, the lamps along the boulevards bending their light in soft reflections across the cobblestones. As Lord Ali Dārayavauš disembarked from his government’s ATR-72 aircraft, he would be recieved by Turkish diplomats and immigration officials who processed the Embassy's forty diplomatic staff and ensured the ten security officers were complaint with Turkish laws.

A convoy of state vehicles carried Dārayavauš from Esenboğa to the Presidential Palace. The vehicle approached to the Presidential Complex. A Turkish flag fluttered above the main roof as the building against the overcast sky. The motorcade slowed before the exterior security gate, two uniformed DMKK officer wearing their distinctive digital camo uniforms and armored vests stepped forward.

One approached the vehicle, scanning the license plate with a handheld device, while another reviewed the incoming vehicle’s itinerary from a rugged tablet linked to the internal Presidential security network. Then a quiet mechanical hum that came as the massive iron gates slowly parted to permit the motorcade’s entry.

As the vehicle crossed through the gate, its tires rolled over an underground bomb detection scanner, a matte-black slab set into the pavement, bristling with sensors. On the far side of the gates, the palace’s wide front lawn stretched out like a manicured carpet, flanked by stone pathways and lines of tulips. The vehicle curved around the circular drive and came to a stop before a tall flight of white steps, at the top of which stood Chief of Staff Cevdet Yılmaz and a Ministry of Foreign Affairs protocol official in a navy-blue suit with a thin silver tie, hands folded at his front.

When the doors opened and the Ambassador stepped out, Cevdet would extend his hand.

“Welcome to Çankaya,” Yılmaz said in an English accent laced with Turkish, “It’s a pleasure to finally host you, Mr. Hawkins.”

They entered the palace through the guest entrance, a private hall lined with traditional Turkish tiles and soft recessed lighting. Just inside, a sleek scanner portal stood under a gold-framed portrait of Atatürk. A DMKK officer manned the adjacent security booth, flanked by two more officers stationed beside the magnetometer.

The Iranian security agents, briefed ahead of time, approached the side table where secure firearm lockers had been prepared if they wished to use them. If so, the agents would need to lock their sidearms and sign an entry log.

Two DMKK diplomatic detail officers, both bearing the silver crescent insignia of the diplomatic protection service, and four members of the Presidential Security Service, stepped forward. Special Agent Mutlu Karabulut stepped forward and extended his hand to Hawkins. "Hello Sir, welcome to the Çankaya. I am Special Agent Karabulut (Kara-boo-loot), and I am the Head of Security for the building. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Once security formalities were completed, the group was led through a side corridor into a formal receiving room, its high ceilings and deep mahogany trim that shinned under the crystal chandelier. They walked in near silence down a carpeted hall that led to the President’s official office, the room was filled with rich dark wood, along with Turkish artwork lining the walls and heavy curtains drawn back to let in the morning sun.

As they entered, President Abdullah Gül stepped forward from behind his desk, a wide, genuine smile already spread across his face. He wore a tailored charcoal suit and a Turkish flag pin. His eyes crinkled with warmth as he approached.

“Ali,” he said in clear English, “on behalf of the Turkish Republic, welcome." He extended his hand. “I believe we have some formalities to attend to,” Gül said, gesturing with a small flourish.

Abdullah would accept Dārayavauš's letter of credence with both hands, nodding as the protocol photographer discreetly stepped in and snapped a few photos of the ceremonial handover. Once the exchange was complete, Gül gestured toward a sitting area.

“Please, join me for tea,” President Gül said, gesturing to the couch opposite of him. A tea service had been discreetly placed on the sideboard, untouched. Along with it an assortment of Turkish sweets, including Turkish delight, cookies, and shortbreads.

Over porcelain cups of tea, the President spoke with simplicity. He reminded the ambassador that Turkish and Persian societies had crossed paths for centuries, their histories braided with both rivalry and respect. “We are heirs,” Gül said softly, “to a long Turco-Persian tapestry. Its colors are not always harmonious, but they endure.” Abdullah thanked the Ambassador and said he was always available to advance Turco-Persian ties and that together they could make the Middle East a peaceful and prosperous region.

From the palace, the ambassador’s motorcade drove through the rain-slick avenues to Kavaklıdere, where the old Iranian chancery stood shuttered. Its gates had been cleaned, the flagstaff ready to receive new colors. At the entrance, waiting in precise formality, was the Turkish Secretary of State for Asian Affairs, Ataol Koca. He would serve as Ankara’s liaison, the point of contact between the chancery and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Inside, amid the scent of polished wood and paper long sealed in crates, the two men walked the corridors together. Karakuş assured the ambassador that Türkiye sought a relationship of balance and pragmatism, economic stability through trade, regional security through consultation, and a mutual recognition that their shared geography was a tool for a peaceful region. Ataol said that the Prime Minister sees Iran as one of Türkiye's most important partners and wants to ensure a strong and special relationship between our two nations.

He then explained that the Minister was currently in Poland. Ataol then confirmed he'd be available to meet with Ali whenever it was convenient for him and left the Ambassador and his staff to properly set up their diplomatic missions. At the same time, Türkiye's designated Ambassador Mohammad Rıza Bağcan would be in Tehran formally presenting his credentials to the Shah and expressing similar sentiments shared by President Gül and Ataol.

When the Iranians were ready, Atatol would be waiting to receive them at the Ministry to discuss the working visit of Prime Minister Ràba to Ankara. Ambassador Dārayavauš went through the security doors at the Ministry before being brought into a meeting room with his staff, where Ataol and two other Turkish diplomats waited for them. They'd be offered tea and other refreshments as they started.
