Iran wall to be built by 2019 in Turkey
(MENAFN) President Tayyip Erdogan said last year Turkey would construct walls along its border with Iraq and part of the border with Iran similar to the nearly completed one on its longest border, with Syria.
Currently, Turkey has finished building more than half of a 90 miles (144 km) wall on its border with Iran and will complete the process next spring, the firm building the barrier said, as Ankara secures its frontiers from smuggling, illegal immigration and militant insinuation.
"We started this (Iran wall) in the summer, but the season is very short here. Currently, 49 miles of this 90-mile wall has been completed, and when seasonal weather conditions permit, God willing, we will have finished by next spring," State housing developer TOKI President Ergun Turan told Reuters.
