Iranian and foreign nuclear experts gathered in Istanbul today to discuss Tehran’s controversial atomic programme, a European Union spokeswoman said.
“The meeting is taking place at the expert-level as planned,” said Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who is leading talks between Iran and the so-called P5+1 — Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany.
The closed-door meeting is being held in a secret location in the Turkish city, Kocijancic added.
