AFP - Iran has agreed to send its uranium to Turkey for enrichment to resolve the international row over its nuclear programme, the Anatolia news agency reported Monday, citing diplomatic sources.
The deal was struck after 18 hours of talks in Tehran between the foreign ministers of Brazil, Iran and Turkey, said the report.
The text that was agreed during the meeting will be put to Turkish Prime Minster Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the agency reported. He flew into Tehran on an unscheduled visit late Sunday.
Erdogan was invited by Iran to join Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for talks on the issue on Monday.
The three leaders would go over the final, detailed version of the agreement at that meeting, the agency added.
