Azeri FM calls to build confidence between Iran, world
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov praised
Turkish-Brazilian initiative, which could not be realized in
connection with subsequent sanctions against Iran.
"We need to find the elements of trust between Iran and the international community," Mammadyarov said Tuesday at a meeting with Bundestag MPs during his working visit to Germany.
"The international community should think how to develop a mechanism for non-use of nuclear weapons, as a lot of countries already have it," Mammadyarov said.
The tripartite agreement on the exchange of nuclear fuel was signed on May 17, following the personal intervention of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who arrived in Tehran for talks with top leaders of the Islamic Republic.
Under the agreement Iran committed to give 1,200kg of 3.5% enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for 20% enriched uranium it will receive from Western countries to be used as fuel in the nuclear research reactor in Tehran.
