Italy Iran and Armenia

I am going to Italy for some days, next week i will be back. Today I went to Iran embassy here in Ankara to get some info about Iranian visa. Some friends are going to Iran in three weeks and I would like to join them. But at the embassy they said maybe it's not a sufficient time to get the visa. When I come back from Italy I will apply and wait. I would like to go to Armenia as well, because another friend will start in a while his EVS there, in a village thirty km from Turkey border: the only problem is that borders between Turkey and Armenia are closed (for everybody, including tourists), and then if I go there I have to pass through Georgia and it takes two days! Sometimes politics is really annoying :)
Anyway, the two training I participated since I am here in were useful aboveall for icreasing my contact list: now I know people in several Turkish towns, and that's very good to travel!!! :)
