Iran agrees on negotiations on its nuclear program with the six world
mediators (Russia, USA, UK, China, France and Germany) without
pre-conditions, the Iranian official at the IAEA, Ali Askar Soltaniye
said, IRNA reports.
Soltaniye said that the talks must be held in an atmosphere of mutual
respect. He said that Iran does not possess or want nuclear arms,
because it is alien to its faith.
Iran is ready to cooperate in global and regional issues, energy, the
fight against drug trafficking, and the peaceful settlement of the
nuclear program.
Geneva hosted a round of talks on the nuclear program between Iran and
the six mediators on December 6-7, 2010. The next talks will be held
in Istanbul on January 21.
The USA and a set of other Western countries accuse Iran of developing
nuclear arms on the background of the peaceful program. Tehran denies
the accusations and insists that the program is aimed at fulfilling
demands for electricity.
