Turkey welcomes Iran agreement

Turkey�and�Brazil�mediated previous negotiations over Iran's disputed nuclear programme in 2010.





Turkey�welcomed an initial agreement between Iran and world powers on curbingTehran's nuclear programme but said on Friday it hoped�Tehran�would go further by the deadline for a final deal at the end of June.

Iran and six world powers, known as the P5+1, agreed a framework deal in�Lausanne,�Switzerland, on Thursday which is contingent on reaching a final agreement by June 30.

"When we look at the positions (of the) P5+1 right now, Iran is still below the line we were able to bring in 2010, but we hope Iran will come to that line," Turkish Foreign Minister�Mevlut Cavusoglu�said during a trip toLithuania.

"As�Turkey�we are very pleased that negotiations held with the P5+1 have ended in political understanding. (We are) happy to see consensus on the general framework of a final agreement. I hope the parties will reach final agreement," he said.

Separately, Turkish finance Minister�Mehmet Simsek�said the deal, which could pave the way for the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran, would help boost�Turkey's exports to its neighbour and help bring down global oil prices.
