Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, currently attending 46th
Munich Security Conference, continued on Saturday his busy diplomacy
traffic.

Davutoglu met with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) new
Director General Yukiya Amano and gave him information about Iran’s
nuclear file as he took over the office newly.

Davutoglu also briefed Amano about his talks in Tabriz and expressed
readiness to extend support to him.

Turkish delegation took some technical information about Iran’s
nuclear file and Amano appreciated Turkey’s efforts in this respect.

The Turkish delegation said Iran’s signals for negotiation was a very
important development.

Davutoglu also met U.S. President Barack Obama’s National Security
Adviser James Jones for a second time.

"Harming process"

Davutoglu later met with Deputy Secretary of State James B. Steinberg.
The U.S. executive gave Davutoglu information about his meeting with
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.

Referring to the Armenian resolution expected to be discussed at the
U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Davutoglu
said this would have a negative impact on the efforts carried out by
Turkey on the Middle East and would harm this process.

It was reported that Davutoglu may have a meeting with Foreign
Minister Miguel Moratinos of EU rotating president Spain.

Davutoglu and Moratinos are expected to discuss the summit that would
take place between Turkey and Spain in Madrid this month. Also, 3-4
chapter headings within the scope of EU membership talks may be
discussed.

Davutoglu is also expected to meet NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Richard
Holbrooke, US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan
later in the day.

Davutoglu will also take the floor at a panel discussion titled
"Security and Stability in the Middle East" which will be organized
within the scope of the conference.
