Russia is ready to "open for Iran modern information and communication technologies, including those intended for programs and needs of the Islamic Republic," said the Russian minister.

Nikiforov stressed that in some countries, such as Turkey, Yandex demonstrated “the highest level of service and proved that the Russian search engine is no worse than the search engines imposed worldwide by the United States.”


Yandex is currently operating in Russia, other CIS countries and Turkey. In October, it signed a deal with Microsoft that every Windows 10 device in these countries will have Yandex as a default search engine and home page.

In September, Yandex opened a sales office in Shanghai to help Chinese companies expand into Russia.
