6 April: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has slammed Iran after Tehran proposed Baghdad and China as venue for a new round of nuclear talks with world powers, instead of İstanbul, saying Tehran is not being honest.(Todays Zaman)

Erdoğan told reporters on Thursday that Iran’s proposal for a new venue was an untenable demand that would sabotage the planned talks. "The offer going round at the moment, Damascus or Baghdad, is a waste of time, it means it won't happen, because they know the other side won't come to Damascus or Baghdad," Erdoğan told a news conference in Ankara.
