Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki met in Portugal, said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparas, IRNA Agency reports.

According to him, the officials discussed issues on bilateral cooperation and the trilateral agreement on the exchange of fuel for the Tehran research reactor.

As NEWS.am reported previously, on May 17 Iran, Turkey and Brazil signed a draft agreement for the exchange of Tehran’s low-enriched uranium (up to 3.5 percent) for highly enriched uranium (up to 20%) for the Tehran research reactor. According to the document, the exchange will be made on the territory of Turkey. However, later UN Security Council decided to toughen sanctions against Iran and this jeopardized the implementation of the reached agreement.
