Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says he believes key sticking points in negotiations over nuclear issues can be overcome, Anadolu reports.

“As talks on [the] Iran war [are] set to resume tomorrow, I believe that one or two issues — particularly those that had been deadlocked in the nuclear dossier — can be resolved,” Fidan tells journalists after his programme at Oxford University.

Fidan adds that Turkiye is in almost daily contact with all parties involved in the negotiations and welcomes recent steps toward extending a fragile ceasefire.

“We welcomed the initial two-week ceasefire, but we also said at the time that it would not be enough to reach a final agreement,” he says. “That ceasefire has now been extended.

“We are trying to contribute positively and provide encouragement to all sides,” he adds.
