Iran's written "something" ... has been handed over..while, Iranians reject Turkish mediation...

"The letter handed over is not an answer to the offered package (by world powers) ... The letter does not mention the freeze-for-freeze issue," the senior Iranian official told Reuters..."
and the BBC, here
"...A source within the Iranian Supreme National Security Council told the AFP news agency that the message was "not Iran's response to the six countries".
...Mr Solana's office said no letter had yet been delivered to EU officials, but that they believed something had been sent. There was still no indication what the response would be, they added...."
"...Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hassan Qashqavi dismissed speculations that Turkey is mediating in Iran's nuclear issue...
"Naturally, several issues, one of them might be nuclear topic, are raised in diplomatic talks (between Iran and Turkey)," he added.......To a question about a western newspaper's article that the US interests section might be opened in Tehran by end of September, Qashqavi said that senior Iranian officials have made comments on Iran-US issues and "I do not have any new official comment on claims of a daily."
Iran has not received any official request from the US for establishment of an interests section in Tehran."
