Iran Nuclear Talks to Resume Next Month
---------------------------------------



International negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program have concluded with
an agreement to continue talks next month. European Union foreign policy
chief Catherine Ashton met with Iranian officials in Geneva on behalf of
the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. Ashton
said the two sides will reconvene in Turkey.

Catherine Ashton: "We recognize Iran’s rights but insist that it
fulfills its obligations. We are ready to address and to seek common
ground also on other issues of mutual interest. We and Iran agreed to a
continuation of these talks in late January in Istanbul, where we plan
to discuss practical ideas and ways of cooperating towards a resolution
of our core concerns about the nuclear issue."
