Tehran, YJC. Top nuclear negotiator says Iran has set January 20 with the US and EU to start enacting the joint plan of action.


Speaking in a news conference on Sunday, Abbas Araqchi said "We agreed that the first step of the Geneva agreement will be operational on January 20.”

Iran’s nuclear negotiator stated "Six countries have agreed to the procedures. Also, inside the Islamic Republic of Iran the entire organizations concerned have evaluated the procedures and announced their agreement.”

The Deputy Foreign Minister further pointed to his recent meeting with the Deputy Secretary General for the External Action Service (EAS) Helga Maria Schmidt and said "The agreement was announced in the contact between me and Mrs. Schmidt. We agreed that starting on January 20 the first step of the agreement would be operational. We hope that it makes a good start and that we would start further contacts shortly after.”

Araqchi then asserted "All these commitments will be put to action in one day, that is all the sanctions which are to be suspended, and which are mentioned in the written agreement and had been previously discussed, will be suspended on January 20.”
