‘Lifting sanctions must be a precondition for Iran-5+1 talks’
TEHRAN, Nov. 16 (MNA) -- MP Mohammad Dehqan said Iran must link a lifting of sanctions on the Islamic Republic to a resumption of talks with the 5+1 group(the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and Germany).
Tehran must announce to the G5+1 group that it is ready for the talks only if they lift the sanctions on Iran and revise their approach toward the country, said Dehqan, a member of the Majlis presiding board.
“We must adopt a more active stance than before in the new round of negotiations,” he observed.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton agreed with Iran’s proposal that the talks be held on December 5.
Earlier Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary Saeed Jalili had proposed meeting in Istanbul on either November 23 or December 5.
