commander, you're on a roll with talking out of your behind.
Spend seconds longer on the stuff you're going to post and don't manipulate the data to fit your cause.
I'm going to look at your own source, SJR.
Iran was ranked 19th in 2010 and it climbed 2 places in 2011. SJR's website doesn't have the data for 2011 yet, so we'll go with 2010 for now.
SJR - International Science Ranking
Iran passed Turkey last year. Turkey is now either 1 or 2 places behind Iran. The update will come soon so stay tuned. If you have a SCOPUS account, you can login and see the 2011 table now.
It seems you are pissed of what I posted. You may be on a roll with talking out of your behind. But I am not. I neither intended to manipulate the data nor started a flame war (This thread is about made in Iran bot about rank of Turkiye vs rank of Iran. We can discuss Turkiye and Iran in another thread. So no need to bring Turkiye in this thread). My objection was and is for the exaggeration and some unrealistic info. I do not say that Iran does not make progress. I admit that Iran did a good job although she is under sanctions. But some of your member were just walking on the clouds and I just wanted to wake them up and show the truth. That is it. I posted different sources please check them out first and see what my intention was.
Earth to commander, American and European sanctions don't let us export to the developed world. We're already exporting everything to the Middle East and some Central Asian countries. Heck, Irankhodro (Iran's largest car company) has a factory in Venezuela and Belarus. SAIPA (second largest car company) has a factory in an African country (I think Sudan). We're cut off from Europe and the US (Belarus is an exception b/c of their policy towards IRan and their exclusion from the EU).
Although the sanctions do not directly name products, the EU and American led sanctions on our banks and shipping companies, as well as the restrictions put on Western companies when doing business with Iran, have practically caused an embargo.
So even though we make every appliance on earth or even most machineries available in the world market, we can't compete in the world. Nobody wants to touch an Iranian company with a 10 meter pole thanks to the sanctions. Doing business with an Iranian company means you won't be able to do business in the US and most EU countries and no company would take that chance. Exporting stuff means collaberating with many entities, from logistic companies to foreign companies, distribution centers, governments etc...
First of all, I admit and understand that the sanctions affect you. Second of all, the sanctions target specific sectors (finance sector, energy sector or technology sector that help Iran`s nuclear program). So you posted a lot of stuffs and (except some of them) most of them can be exported. When I saw your export depends on the oil, I came up with some reasons. Whether you like or dislike those reasons #896 have logic. Third of all you said that "Doing business with an Iranian company means you won't be able to do business in the US and most EU countries and no company would take that chance. Exporting stuff means collaberating with many entities, from logistic companies to foreign companies, distribution centers, governments etc." As long as I know the sanctions target specific sectors and if a company (it does not matter the country) do business with those specific sectors than that company will be sanctioned by the USA or the EU. But I dont think the sanctions apply for everything Iran makes (Correct me if I am wrong). So anyway I already posted my opinions and as I said good luck.
