The USA does not exclude the contribution of other countries to
negotiations between the six international mediators and Iran, the
official spokesman of the US State Department Philip Crowly said,
commenting on the possible Turkish involvement in the negotiation
process, Trend reports.
Geneva concluded the scheduled round of talks on the Iranian nuclear
program on Tuesday. The six mediators (five permanent members of the
UN Security Council - Russia, USA, UK, China, France - and Germany),
the High Representative of EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Catherine Ashton were at the meeting. Iran was represented by the
Secretary of the High Council for National Security Saeed Jalili.
The sides decided to hold the next talks in Istanbul in late January.
The negotiation process was stopped in 2009 when the IAEA criticized
Iran for constructing a second uranium enrichment plant and urged
Tehran to confirm that there were no decisions taken about the
construction of other nuclear facilities unregistered at the agency.
