Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadiejad did not shake hands before the family photo at Baku's ECO Summit, daily Milliyet has reported.
 
It was reported yesterday that the leaders would not conduct a one-on-one meeting during the summit, while they were also seated far apart as well.
 
The lack of contact between the two leaders was interpreted by media outlets as a sign of the worsening state of Turkey-Iran relations.
 
The leaders have been following opposite policies on Syria.
