The Turkish premier's office said that the letter has explained the criteria consistent with nuclear weapons and underlined that Turkey fully backs disarmament of nuclear weapons in the region.
The prime ministrer said in his letter that the tripartite agreement inked in Tehran on fuel swap on May 17 indicated that diplomacy and negotiations will be the best and effective means to resolve the dispute.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran signed an agreement on fuel swap in Tehran on May 17.
Implementing the tripartite agreement will begin as per a practical agreement to be signed between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency afterwards.
Iran has demanded the IAEA to make arrangements with suppliers of 20 percent enriched uranium to deliver fuel for Tehran medical research reactor.
The IAEA put forward a proposal on swap of 20 percent fuel in return for 3.5 percent fuel enriched in Iran with France.
Iran says it needs objective guarantees for the swap citing failure of French uranium enrichment company, Eurodif, to honor its commitments it undertook in 1970s to supply fuel for Tehran medical research reactor.
Major part of shares of the French uranium enrichment company, Eurodif, belongs to Iran and the Iranian partnership in establishment of the French company aimed to secure supply of fuel for Tehran medical research reactor which produces isotopes to cure the patients suffering from cancer./end
