Critics
of Iran should get rid of own nukes: Turkish PM

Rio De
Janeiro: Nations criticizing an Iranian nuclear fuel-swap
deal brokered by Brazil and Turkey should eliminate their own
nuclear weapon stockpiles, Turkey's leader said Friday.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the comments just hours
after claiming that the West was “envious” of Brazil and Turkey's
achievement in getting Iran to agree to the deal.
US officials have criticized the agreement, in part because it does
not stop Iran from continuing to enrich uranium. The US also says
the deal is a ploy by Iran to delay new international sanctions.
“Those who speak to this issue should eliminate nuclear weapons from
their own country and they should bear the good news to all mankind
by doing that,” Erdogan said while attending a UN conference in Rio
de Janeiro.
His comments were aimed at the US and its massive nuclear stockpile.
On Thursday, he remarked that “Those who criticize the accord are
envious.”
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Washington on
Thursday that the US has “very serious disagreements with Brazil's
diplomacy vis-a-vis Iran.”
“We think buying time for Iran, enabling Iran to avoid international
unity with respect to their nuclear program, makes the world more
dangerous, not less,” Clinton said during a talk at the Brookings
Institution. “They have a different perspective on what they see
they're doing.”
Clinton said one of the US government's main concern is that despite
the fuel-swap deal, Iran is insisting on continuing to enrich
uranium at a high level.
Both Erdogan and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva say
they do not see the nuclear fuel-swap deal as a solution to the
Iranian nuclear standoff, but as a starting point to get Iran back
to the negotiations.
Under the deal, submitted this week to the International Atomic
Energy Agency, Iran agrees to ship 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of
uranium to Turkey, where it will be stored. In exchange, Iran would
get fuel rods made from 20-percent enriched uranium; that level of
enrichment is high enough for use in research reactors but too low
for nuclear weapons.
Among concerns by opponents of the deal is that Iran has continued
to churn out low-enriched material and is running a pilot program of
enriching to higher levels, near 20 percent.
Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim told reporters in Rio the
fuel swap deal contains all the elements that the US and other
nations were seeking in similar agreement last year.
“We are not defenders of Iran. We are trying to help peace,” Amorim
said. “The agreement contains all that which was proposed by the
Group of Vienna, especially by Russia, the United States and France,
and now we need time to see if it will bear results.”
Silva said that the deal was meant to resolve “a conflict that
threatens much more than the stability of an important region of the
planet.”
“The world needs a peaceful Middle East.” Last month, Obama and
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a new arms-control treaty
that would limit each country's stockpile of nuclear warheads to
1,550, down from the current level of 2,200 — bringing the arsenals
to a level last seen in the 1950s. It replaces the 1991 Strategic
Arms Reduction Treaty, or START I, which expired in December.
The treaty must be ratified by both the Russian Parliament and the
US Congress.
