Iran has already enriched uranium with up to 20 percent, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a rally in Tehran marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, IRINN television channel reported.
"We have asked the West to provide us with 20-percent enriched uranium and they refused," he said. "So, we ourselves have launched the uranium enrichment."
Turkey has repeatedly stated its willingness to mediate issue concerning Iran's nuclear program.
The U.S. and other western countries accuse Iran of developing nuclear weapons for military purposes under the guise of a peaceful nuclear energy program. Tehran denies the charges, saying that its nuclear program is aimed solely at meeting the country's electricity needs.
The U.N. Security Council has adopted five resolutions in connection with the suspension of Iran's nuclear program. Three involve the use of economic sanctions on Iran.
