Nuclear technology is the product of humanity and all nations have the right to use this technology, Davutoglu said Wednesday.
Turkey supports Iran’s gaining [access to] nuclear energy, he added.
Referring to the Tehran Declaration which was issued in May 2010 following trilateral talks among Iran, Turkey and Brazil based on which Tehran agreed to swap its low-enriched uranium for reactor fuel on Turkish soil, Davutoglu said that the US and its Western allies imposed more pointless sanctions against Iran instead of allowing the declaration to move forward.
Turkey’s stance on Iran sanctions is clear. A period of over two years was lost because the atomic fuel swap deal with Iran did not take effect and the crisis intensified, but we [still] want the negotiations to continue on Iran nuclear program to find a peaceful solution to the Issue, he added.
Iran and the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany) wrapped up two days of negotiations earlier on Wednesday in the Kazakh city of Almaty.
The United States, the Israeli regime and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Over the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have imposed several rounds of illegal unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Iran refutes the allegation and argues that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
