Iran has answered to a letter from EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton, and welcomed the "readiness" of International negotiators to resume talks on country's nuclear program, Fars reported.
Iran and the P5+1 have held two rounds of multifaceted talks in Geneva in December 2010 and in the Turkish city of Istanbul last January.

Iran has refuted the allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Tehran has a right to use nuclear technology for peaceful use.
