Inter-regional instability is a problem that affects the developed or developing countries without making any discrimination between them. With the objective to solve the underdevelopment problem of Eastern and Southeastern Regions of Turkey, the border trade practices have been started to be implemented. Border trade is defined as a special form of international trade mutually implemented by the countries that border the other countries in order to cover the needs of that region. Providing the opportunity to supply goods cheaply and easily and contributing to the environment of peace, tranquility and trust, providing employment and its positive effect on annihilating the regional instability are some significant contributions of this form of trade to macro economy.

Esendere gümrük kapısının sahip olduğu ticari fonksiyonları doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak, gümrük kapısı etki alanındaki yerleşmelerde değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Geçmişte alanda meydana gelen sınır sorunları arasında yer alan terör sorunlarından dolayı gümrük kapısında ticari aktiviteler durma noktasına gelmiştir. Ancak bu sorunların bertaraf edilmesi günümüzde gümrük kapısının ticari faaliyetlerine olumlu etkilerde bulunarak alanda sosyal, siyasi ve ekonomik yapının tekrardan canlanmasında ve gelişmesinde önemli rol oynamıştır. Uluslararası nitelikte İran ve Türkiye’ye ekonomik açıdan önemli katkıları bulunan gümrük kapısında niteliksel iyileştirmelerle ekonomik kazanç ve verilen hizmet nitelikleri arttırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Gümrük kapısının özellikle turizm kaynağı olarak ilgi çeken alanlara yakınlığı ve iki ülke arasındaki ilişkilerin gelişmesine katkıda bulunan özellikte olması, çalışma sahasını daha önemli kılmaktadır. Çalışmada İran ve Türkiye için öneme sahip olan Esendere Gümrük kapısının coğrafi konumu, Doğu Anadolu bölgesi için önemi ve buna bağlı olarak ekonomik, sosyal, siyasal yönden önemi değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

    JOURNAL FOR IRANIAN STUDIES Specialized Studies A Peer-Reviewed Quarterly Periodical Journal Year 1, issue 2- March. 2017 www.arabiangcis.org Turkey’s rather lackluster economic ties with Iran Turkey’s rather lackluster economic ties with Iran Abdullah Bozkurt Researcher in the Iranian Affairs usiness, trade and investment ties between Turkey and Iran, two competing powers in the region with a combined BGross Domestic Product (GDP) of $1.14 trillion1, have been thwarted for decades from unleashing their full potential mainly by the protectionist policies pursued by the Tehran regime for various reasons. For one, Iran is keen to safeguard its relatively uncompetitive industry against Turkish manufacturing and industrial products, preserve the hold of Mullahs and of the military on its economy. The ideological hostility toward Turkey, a predominantly Sunni nation, coupled with the long-running historical rivalry in the region, has also played a significant role in impeding the further development of the economic ties. Journal for Iranian Studies 28 Year 1,issue 2- March. 2017 Turkey’s rather lackluster economic ties with Iran Sometimes security considerations outweighed trade interests with reference to opening up key industries in the Iranian economy to Turkish companies. In some cases, Turkey has been a victim of internal jockeying for power among the competing interests pursued by the government, religious class and security and intelligence establishments. It is striking to see the deeply entrenched prejudices in Iranian bureaucracy against Turkey that contributed to the decline of what initially appeared to be very promising joint ventures and business deals. 1. Sputtering Trade Volume The performance on the trade volume between the two countries is disappointing given their combined GDPs and a huge consumer market of some 160 million people tells the sad story of an unfulfilled potential between Turkey and Iran.

Thirteen new species and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) V. ASSING Abstract Thirteen species are described from Turkey: Aleochara (Ceranota) simplicicornis sp.n. (Ordu, Erzurum), Aploderus transversicollis sp.n. (Samsun), Atheta (Parameotica) soganlica sp.n. (Trabzon), Borboropora myrmecophila sp.n. (Antalya), Gabrius pravus sp.n.

(Kahramanmaraş), O. miricornis (Kahramanmaraş), Stenus (Hemistenus) abstrusus sp.n. (Gümüşhane, Giresun, Trabzon), and S. (H.) abrasus sp.n. (Rize). The sexual characters of several additional species are illustrated. Aleochara caloderoides ASSING, 2007 is attributed to the subgenus Ceranota STEPHENS, 1839. The preoccupied name Atheta akiensis ASSING, 2006 is replaced with Atheta albomontis nom.n. A lectotype is designated for Lathrobium decipiens CZWALINA, 1888, a preoccupied senior synonym of Tetartopeus czwalinai (JAKOBSON, 1909); its habitus and aedeagus are illustrated. A total of 39 species are recorded from Turkey for the first time, one of them, also for Morocco, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, and various European countries. Numerous new province records are reported. The distributions of five species are mapped. Key words: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Turkey, new species, replacement name, lectotype designation, additional records, taxonomy, distribution.
