Iranian nuclear program: new talks in Istanbul

The representative of Tehran's praise the "positive atmosphere" for the new talks on the Iranian nuclear program. They do not give in anyway: When you leave uranium enrichment inside do not talk to, also would have the sanctions lifted. Istanbul - At the start of the new nuclear talks in Istanbul has made clear Tehran: Iran will not allow "no circumstances" discussion about his "fundamental rights" such as uranium enrichment.

The employee of the Iranian chief negotiator Said Jalili said on Friday. Tehran also called the lifting of sanctions - this is a precondition for serious negotiations. In Istanbul, meet the representatives present Tehran with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and diplomats of the 5 +1 group.

These include USA, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany. The West suspects the Islamic republic to try to secretly build nuclear weapons. The main objective of the Western States in the new talks is to Iran from further enrichment of uranium to make that could be used later to build a nuclear bomb.

The UN Security Council has repeatedly imposed sanctions because of Iran opposes the demand for a halt enrichment, insisting on its right to civilian use of nuclear power. The Turkish government had offered in May to store as informant 1200 kg low enriched uranium (3.5 percent) from Iran.

From abroad should be delivered Tehran 120 kg higher enriched uranium for a medical research reactor. This is technically not suitable for making bombs. However, Iran has so far, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over at least 3183 kg low enriched uranium. After Tehran's recent plans for a uranium exchange therefore a larger amount of which would remain in Iran.

It is also unclear what will happen to at least 40 kg higher enriched uranium, which Iran claims to have. Despite these issues and the knifflichen pithy words at the beginning praised the Iranian side, the first talks in Istanbul. Chief negotiator Jalili told the Iranian state television station Press TV: "The atmosphere was very positive." Dschalilis deputy, said that the 5 +1 group had an overall positive attitude than with the resumption of the talks in December in Geneva.
