EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana ruled out on Thursday any "great breakthrough" in his talks with senior Iranian official Ali Larijani on Tehran's nuclear intentions. "We had a constructive meeting (but) we will not be in a position to make a great breakthrough during this visit," he told reporters as he left his hotel for a meeting with Larijani and Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul.
"But we hope we will be able to continue (the talks). We discussed many things," he said, according to AFP.
Solana and Larijani arrived in Ankara Wednesday and had a five-hour meeting about ending the crisis.
Speaking to reporters late Wednesday, Larijani reported some progress, telling reporters: "There are ideas on the table." "In about two weeks time again we would be having some more talks," Larijani said, describing his meeting with Solana as "pleasant."
