Vienna, Sept 22, IRNA -- Vice-President and head of Iran's nuclear organization Ali Akbar Salehi conferred with heads of Brazilian and Turkish delegations here on Wednesday.

The meeting was made on the sidelines of the 54th IAEA General Conference session which began in Vienna on Monday.

Referring to the Tehran Declaration brokered by Iran, Brazil and Turkey on fuel swap for the Tehran medical research reactor, Salehi said fortunately the three sides are fully committed to the agreement.

He said the declaration will be observed properly, expressing hope that other countries, the US in particular, use logic and do not waste any more time.

The head of Iran's nuclear organization underlined that the Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly voiced its willingness to hold talks with the Vienna group.

He added unfortunately the other side, the US in particular, do not show interest for such a meeting, stating that the global community would comprehend that the honesty of the US is in doubt.

The IAEA General Conference is the highest authority for decision making and taking policies for IAEA programs, in which heads of international organizations of atomic energy, cabinet ministers and representatives of member states of the agency attend.
