The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmet Davutoglu, has met the
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Catherine Ashton, Anadolu reports.
Davutoglu also had talks with the head of the Iranian Supreme National
Security Council, Said Jalili.
A diplomatic source said that Ashton and Jalili have arrived in
Istanbul for negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program.
The USA and a set of Western countries accuse Iran of developing
nuclear arms on the background of the peaceful atom. Tehran denies the
accusations and insists that the program is aimed at fulfilling
demands for electricity.
The six mediators (Russia, USA, UK, China, France and Germany) and
Iran will have a meeting in Istanbul on January 21-22.
