/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Germany is hoping for a diplomatic solution to the
conflict over Iran's nuclear programme but is ready for tougher
sanctions if no progress is made, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on
Saturday.
"We want a diplomatic solution," Merkel told the Munich Security
Conference in a speech, referring to new U.S. President Barack Obama's
offer to hold talks with Tehran on the nuclear issue.
"I think the new U.S. administration will make its approach towards
Iran clear to us in coming months. We are ready to walk this path
together. But we are also ready for tougher sanctions if there is no
progress," Merkel said, Reuters reports.
