Geneva host talks on Iran's nuclear issue
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council
plus Germany started a new round of talks on Tehran's nuclear
energy program in Geneva, Press TV reported.
Iran and the P+1 group agreed on September 26 in New York to hold
another round of talks in Switzerland.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who is leading a
high-ranking Iranian delegation of political, technical and legal
experts during the trip, told reporters upon arrival in Geneva on
Monday, "The New York talks [in September] were an announcement of
the two sides' political will to resolve the nuclear issue and we
think that the delegations of both sides were ready to reach a
quick solution through negotiations at the foreign ministerial
level."
"We believe that the nuclear issue can be resolved in one year and
Iran's nuclear issue can turn into an ordinary matter in the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provided that the
opposite side has goodwill," Zarif stated.
The U.S. and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing a
nuclear weapon - something that Iran denies. The Islamic Republic
has on numerous occasions stated that it does not seek to develop
nuclear weapons, using nuclear energy for medical researches
instead.
