Tehran, YJC. A two-day round of talks with a delegation from the US in Switzerland was "constructive", attending the nuclear program details.
"The negotiations were tense and thorough and we set for
details,” head of the Iranian team of nuclear negotiators Abbas Araqchi following
negotiations with the US diplomatic team, which were held on Friday and
Saturday in the Swiss city of Zurich.
"In these meetings, we entered discussions on diverse
subjects, particularly outstanding issues such as (Iran’s uranium) enrichment
and the (anti-Iran) sanctions which include full and complicated details,” the
Iranian deputy foreign minister added.
The official, however, made it clear that talking about
details does not imply that a comprehensive nuclear deal is now definite.
"We are in a position that details and generalities should
be studied together. All details should be clear and the parties should move to
a position to be able to make decisions on the generalities and the crux of the
matter,” Araqchi explained.
Negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five
permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) aim to hammer out a final
agreement to end more than a decade of impasse over Tehran’s peaceful nuclear
program.
In the meantime, Iran and the European members of the Group
5+1 –France, Britain and Germany- are scheduled to hold nuclear talks in the
Turkish city of Istanbul on January 29.
