As a member of the UN Security Council, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu defends Iran's right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

"There was no deviation in Iran's peaceful nuclear program," Davutoglu stressed in a meeting with Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani in Tehran on Tuesday.

He added that Turkey believes that no country has the right to use nuclear technology to build weapons.

Larijani reiterated that Iran's nuclear program pursues peaceful purposes and criticized certain powers for adopting double-standards on the Islamic Republic's nuclear case.

"Negotiations will be the sole solution to the ongoing (nuclear) misunderstandings," he said.

He added that the possession and use of nuclear weapons have no place in Iran's religious beliefs.
