Turkey and Brazil Reassure Commitment to the Tehran Declaration

Turkey assured its commitment to the Tehran Declaration despite the new UN sanctions imposed on Iran.

On the sidelines of the Southeast European leaders Summit, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters, "We still believe a solution can be found. We are determined to continue our efforts."

"Brazil will continue to be with us," Davutoglu added.

The Tehran Declaration considers Iran's exchange of 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) of its low-enriched uranium for reactor fuel.

For his part, Brazil's Foreign Minister Celso Amorim called on Monday for an outline agreement that could serve as the basis for further talks with Tehran.
