Turkey rebuffs Irans top nuclear negotiator
London, Apr. 24 Turkey has rejected a visit by Irans top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani to Ankara. Irans official news agency said in a dispatch that the Turkish Foreign Ministry had described the timing of such a visit as inappropriate.
Independent Turkish dailies reported that by refusing to accept Larijani, Ankara was reacting to Tehrans decision to commence uranium enrichment despite repeated requests by the International Atomic Energy Agency to refrain from doing so.
