Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said Tuesday that Iran's upcoming talks with G5+1 will not include nuclear fuel swap issues, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
"By no means our talks with the five UN Security Council permanent members and Germany (G5+1) ... will include nuclear fuel swap issue," Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted by the report.
Iran's criteria for the nuclear fuel swap deal is Tehran Declaration, he was quoted as saying.
In a tripartite meeting in Tehran on May 17, Iran signed an agreement with Turkey and Brazil, dubbed Tehran Declaration, to endorse a fuel swap deal, in which Iran agreed to ship most of its low enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for the 20 percent uranium fuel needed for its Tehran research reactor.
Iran has reiterated that its potential upcoming talks with G5+1 will not only include the country's controversial nuclear issue, but should encompass diverse range of global issues which are of interests for both sides.
