Iran is proposing that a new round of talks on its nuclear program with the United States and other world powers be held in Turkey,though no date has been announced.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says Iran has informed its “friends in Turkey” that it is willing to hold the talks there.
Mottaki told a news conference on Sunday that Iran is “hopeful a time and agenda will be agreed upon soon.”
Tehran has said it would be ready to hold talks with the six powers some time after Nov. 10. The six nations are the US,Russia,China,Britain,France and Germany.
They suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons capability under the cover of a civil energy program. Iran denies that.
Negotiations foundered a year ago.
