ElBaradei suggests stronger role for Turkey to solve Iranian nuke standoff

The New Anatolian / Vienna with agencies


International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head Mohammed ElBaradei proposed to Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul on Thursday that Turkey play a stronger role in efforts to find a peaceful solution to the nuclear standoff with Iran, Turkish sources said yesterday.

The Turkish foreign minister, who went to Vienna for talks with the European Union Troika, met with IAEA head ElBaradei yesterday and discussed the recent nuclear standoff with Iran and also Turkey's plans to develop civilian nuclear power plants.

Turkish sources said following the meeting that ElBaradei suggested Turkey continue its engagement in efforts to find a diplomatic solution to nuclear standoff between the West and Iran in a stronger way, stressing that Ankara has the confidence of both parties. The IAEA head also praised Turkey's efforts so far and underlined that his ideas on this issue are totally in line with those of Turkey.

"There are only a few countries which understand the issue and at the same time have the confidence of both the West actors and Iran," ElBaradei reportedly told Gul. He also stressed that it's impossible to find a solution to the issue through putting on pressure or threats, and told Gul that it's important for all parties to refrain from unconstructive statements and give up making threats.

The Turkish foreign minister, for his part, stressed that Turkey still believes that a solution can be reached through diplomatic and peaceful ways and added that Turkish government is ready to contribute to resolving the problem.

The IAEA's 35-nation board, including the U.S. and European states, focused on Tehran's refusal to freeze uranium enrichment at Wednesday's meeting and decided that Iran's nuclear intransigence has left the world no choice but to ask for action from the UN Security Council.

Gul urges Iran to be more transparent

Abdullah Gul, in an exclusive interview with Turkish TV channel CNN Turk reiterated that Iran can have a civilian nuclear program, but added, "We don't want any of our neighbors or any country in this region to have nuclear weapons. The international community has not been satisfied with the cooperation shown by Iran. We also want Iran to be more transparent. We're still hopeful for a diplomatic solution."

The Turkish Foreign Ministry called on Iran yesterday to introduce additional confidence-building measures concerning its nuclear program and said that there's still a window of opportunity for a peaceful solution and that Iran should not miss that.

Turkey to announce its nuke program soon

In his meeting with ElBaradei yesterday, Gul also said that Turkey will announce its own civilian nuclear program soon, underlining that Ankara will be transparent and in full cooperation with the IAEA during the implementation of the program. According to sources Gul asked for support and invited the IAEA head to Turkey to further discuss the details of Ankara's cooperation with the UN's nuclear watchdog.

Diplomats said that ElBaradei is expected to visit Turkey in June -- the month Turkey is expected to officially announce its nuclear program.

Talking to reporters following the meeting, ElBaradei talked about what he'd learned about Turkey's nuclear activities from Gul. "Our agency will fully support Turkey's nuclear energy program," ElBaradei said, suggesting Turkey prepare national and international public opinion over the program before the official announcement and to take necessary security measures beforehand.
