TEHRAN: Talks between Iran and major world powers, which have stalled for more than a year, could resume in Turkey “as soon as possible”, Iran’s foreign minister said on Sunday.
The P5+1 group, the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany, had proposed holding talks with Iran over its nuclear programme on Nov. 15-17 in Vienna. Iran indicated it was open to that idea but never formally agreed.
“We have told our Turkish friends that we are in agreement with regard to holding these talks in Turkey,” Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference. He said the venue, date and agenda were still under discussion. AGENCIES
