New negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program may be held in Iraq

Iran is interested in conducting a new round of negotiations on its nuclear program not in Turkey, but in Iraq, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The department noted that the Iranian delegation transferred the corresponding request to Iraqi representatives on Tuesday during a visit to Baghdad. Prior to this, last week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that the next consultations between Iran, five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and Germany will be held on April 13-14 in Istanbul.

This will be the first such meeting from January 2011, when the parties could not agree even a subtle agenda. Western countries achieve from Iran to the cessation of work on the enrichment of uranium, which can be used in the production of nuclear weapons. Iran rejects the assumptions that his development is pursuing a similar goal.
