'Turkey backs Iran and G5+1 nuclear talks anywhere'

Turkey supports Iran and G5+1 nuclear talks anywhere, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Wednesday. He made the remark in response to a question posed by journalists about the future venue of Iran and G5+1 negotiations.

“The place of talks between Iran and the other side is not important but what is important for Ankara, is to help the beginning of negotiations,” the Turkey FM concluded.

Iran has reportedly proposed holding the next round of talks with Western powers on its nuclear program in Iraq instead of Turkey, Iraq's Foreign Ministry claimed recently.

Meanwhile, some media outlets claimed Tuesday that Baghdad had agreed to host the talks between Iran and the 5+1 group (the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany).
