Turkey's PM in Iran for talks on nuclear program
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian officials are expected to discuss Tehran's disputed nuclear program and the crisis in Syria with visiting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan arrived in Tehran on Wednesday from South Korea, where he attended a nuclear security summit and also held talks with President Barack Obama.
The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
Iran and the world powers - U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany - have agreed to meet on April 13 for new talks but no decision has been made on the venue.
The last round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers was held in Istanbul in Jan. 2011 but ended without agreement.
