First of all, Lets not be racial.
Iran's scientific development is different than that of Turkish...Turkey is the only Muslim country to have full access to Western technology & Iran has zero access from last 30 years...So Turkish development in science is because of the Western collaboration & technology transfer while Iran is self working, though using old western technology as it's base...!
According to Scopus, Iran ranked 17th in terms of science production in the world in 2012 with the production of 34,155 articles above Switzerland and Turkey.
According to the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Iran increased its acadamic publishing output nearly tenfold from 1996 to 2004, and has been ranked first globally in terms of output growth rate (followed by China with a 3 fold increase).
A 2010 report by Canadian research firm Science-Metrix has put Iran in the top rank globally in terms of growth in scientific productivity with a 14.4 growth index followed by South Korea with a 9.8 growth index. Iran's growth rate in science and technology is 11 times more than the average growth of the world's output in 2009 and in terms of total output per year, Iran has already surpassed the total scientific output of countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Austria or that of Norway. Iran with a science and technology yearly growth rate of 25% is doubling its total output every three years and at this rate will reach the level of Canadian annual output in 2017.
As per US government report on science and engineering titled "Science & Engineering Indicators 2010" prepared by National Science Foundation, Iran has the world's highest growth rate in Science & Engineering article output with an annual growth rate of 25.7%. & the list will just keep going on & on...& the biggest cause for this was the international isolation that Iran suffered from past 30 years which driven it to realize the idiom of "necessity is the mother of invention."
