Baku-APA. An Iranian lawmaker says settling disagreements over the peaceful Iranian nuclear program solely depends on the West lifting all US-engineered sanctions against Tehran, APA reports quoting Press TV.
“If the negotiations are meant to continue seriously and [if there is] to be hope for [reaching] a result, without doubt all sanctions against Iran must be lifted,” Hossein spokesman for the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Naqavi Hosseini said.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain - plus Germany held two days of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear energy program behind closed doors in the Swiss city of Geneva on October 15-16.
Both sides sounded an upbeat note following the meetings, where Iran tabled its proposals to end the nuclear standoff, and they agreed to meet again in Geneva on November 7-8.
The lawmaker said Iran is willing to work with the six powers, adding, “There is [however,] no doubt that the Iranian nation will not allow its government to reach an agreement with the West if [anti-Iran] sanctions are not lifted.”
