DUBAI: Foreign Ministers of Iran, Turkey and Brazil have met in Istanbul to begin a new round of diplomacy to bring about a negotiated end to Iran’s nuclear crisis.

Ahead of the meeting, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the three Ministers would “exchange views on the developments related to the tripartite agreement on [a] fuel swap,” IRNA reported.

In May, the three countries had signed a nuclear fuel agreement under which Iran would receive medium enriched uranium fuel in return for bulk exports to Turkey of lightly enriched uranium produced domestically by Tehran. The global powers, led by the United States, had then rejected the deal, anchored by the Tehran Declaration, and had instead rapidly pushed for a fourth round of sanctions against Iran.

Iran has earlier announced that the Tehran Declaration would frame its future talks with the West.

Corroborating this perception, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in Istanbul on Sunday at a joint press conference with his Brazilian counterpart Celso AmorimCelso Luiz Nunes Amorim (Santos, 3 de junho de 1942) é um diplomata brasileiro. Ao longo de sua carreira, ocupou por duas vezes o cargo de ministro das Relações Exteriores do Brasil. Influenciado pelo trabalho de Ulysses Guimarães, filiou-se ao Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB), mas não teve militância partidária. Recentemente, filiou-se ao Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). Em 7 de outubro de 2009, David Rothkopf, um comentarista da revista americana Foreign Policy indicou Amorim como "o melhor chanceler do mundo".

“This is a facilitating instrument for increasing confidence building measures,” Mr. Davutoglu observed. Mr. Amorim said both Iran and the global powers should show flexibility to bridge differences.

“We will always encourage Iran to take a flexible position,” said Mr. Amorim, but added that “other countries should act accordingly”.

“We believe Iran should be able to pursue a peaceful nuclear programme, but also give the world assurances that it has no military component.”

Mr. Davutoglu said Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki had already said Tehran could hold talks with the European Union, in early September after the observance of Ramadan. “
