More than one million Iranian tourists visit Turkey every year
“It’s so pleasant here in Turkey,” says Kaveh, a 40-year-old Iranian from Tehran who’s visiting Istanbul, just as he has many times over the last 20 years. “You feel free leaving Iran for a week or two.”
I asked Kaveh if he’d noticed any changes over the last eight years since the Justice and Development (AK) party took control of the state. “I see more women in Islamic dress and more alcohol-free restaurants,” he says. “But it doesn’t bother me at all, as long as they don’t force you to think and live they way they think you should.”
And his wife, Shabnam, adds: “I think things are better now in Turkey. After all, we are Muslims, not Westerners.”
