Turkish shameless hypocrisy and double standard on ''Human rights'' ...

Because
the regime of Iran is 100 times worse than Mubarak was in Egypt and Iran's violation of human rights are much much more severe in Iran than in Egypt,
 turkish president Gül arrives in Iran should discuss with his Iranian counter part ONLY human rights issues NOTHING ELSE...
Ηe ( Gül ) asserted:
''Let me add again that, just as for Egypt, I and  President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 
“will die on the soil of the Iranian people''
and
''what is important is to be remembered with respect;
it is to be remembered with benediction.
 We exist for the people.
We fulfill our duties for our people.” '' ''

Turkish President Gül arrives in Iran on maiden trip

Abdullah Gül arrived in Tehran on Sunday on a visit aimed at boosting economic and political ties with the Islamic republic. The visit marked his first trip to Iran as the Turkish president.

During his visit, which ends on Wednesday, Gül will meet senior officials including his counterpart President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He is accompanied by a large delegation of ministers and businessmen.

In an interview carried by Iran's state news agency IRNA on Saturday, Gül said Turkey backs a negotiated settlement of the Islamic republic's nuclear issue.

"Iran is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Thus, Iran's nuclear issue should be solved through negotiation and Turkey will continue to facilitate this," he said.

Turkey's ties with its eastern neighbor have markedly improved since Ankara's current Islamist-rooted government came to power in 2002.

Last month, Turkey hosted talks between Iran and six world powers aimed at allaying Western suspicions that Tehran is secretly developing nuclear weapons, but no progress was achieved.

Last June, Turkey – then a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council – irked the United States when it voted against fresh sanctions the body approved against Iran, arguing that a nuclear fuel swap deal it had negotiated together with Brazil the previous month should be given a chance.Gül also places importance on the economic ties between Ankara and Tehran.

On june 12, 2009 the Iranian presidential elections were held, and the results were strongly contested by the population. For the first time after the Islamic Revolution, Iranians expressed all their dissent, organizing huge demonstrations against the regime. But the protest was not limited to demonstrations in public spaces. Every night at 10:00, citizens gathered on building rooftops to continue their protests, chanting “Allah u Akbar,” (Allah is great). At times, these chants would be interrupted by other, more indignant, chants of “Makbar diktator” (Death to the dictator). During these protests, the dark Tehran nights were haunted by the ghost-like shadows and their eerie voices. Dreams, memories, emotions, and hopes roam around like ghosts on the rooftops of Tehran.

Iranian and Turkish officials have said they want to increase trade between the two countries to $30 billion by 2015, from the present $10 billion.

Turkey's improving ties with Iran, coupled with a deep crisis in its relations with long-time ally Israel, have sparked concern that NATO's sole Muslim-majority member is sliding away from the West.

Ankara strongly denies any policy shift
