ISTANBUL, May 24 (MNA) -- Iran has handed a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) outlining Tehran nuclear declaration, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast announced on Monday.
The letter was submitted to the secretary-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency by the Iranian, Turkish, and Brazilian envoys to Vienna, Mehmanparast, who is heading a media delegation to Turkey, told reporters in a press conference.
On the sidelines of the Group of 15 summit, which was held in Tehran on May 17, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil issued a declaration, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel to power the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer treatment.
