YEREVAN, APRIL 14, ARMENPRESS: Key talks on Iran's controversial
nuclear programme, which have resumed after a 15-month impasse, have
been described as "positive" and "totally different" from the last
meeting, reports Armenpress citing BBC.
Six world powers - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany -
and Iran are meeting in Istanbul in Turkey.
Iran says its nuclear programme is peaceful, but critics suspect it
of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Israel has hinted in recent months that it may carry out a pre-emptive
strike.
Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton,
said of the talks: "There is a positive atmosphere...
contrasting with the last time."
The BBC's James Reynolds, in Istanbul, says the envoys had earlier set
the bar pretty low - saying they did not expect detailed, substantive
proposals from either side.
What they wanted to see, he says, was whether Iran was ready to
seriously engage and, if that happened, there might be another round
of talks in four to six weeks time.
