Kerry and Zarif weren't nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has not confirmed the information on the nomination of Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif and the US Secretary of State John Kerry as candidates for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.

"It was a personal opinion of one of our employees, the SIPRI didn't make a formal decision on this issue," TASS cited the Institute's message as saying.
