TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian said that
he is hopeful about the results of the next round of talks between
Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members
plus Germany) in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on April 5-6.
Nalbandian made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast in Yerevan on Wednesday.
"I hope that issues pertaining to the Iranian nuclear program will
be resolved peacefully soon," Nalbandian said.
The last round of the talks between Tehran and the six world powers
was held in Almaty on February 26-27.
Also, experts from Iran and the G5+1 reviewed the two sides' proposals
in a meeting in Istanbul from March 17 to 18. The two sides' experts
outlined topics of the upcoming talks between the chief negotiators
of Iran and the G5+1 due to start tomorrow.
Earlier this month, diplomatic sources in Europe said that the grounds
are now ready to lift part of the current economic sanctions on Iran
in the next round of talks between Tehran and the six world powers.
According to a report by Norway's Radio Austin, diplomatic circles
in Europe have announced that the next meeting between Iran and G5+1
will witness a real change in the Iran-West nuclear standoff and at
the end of the day "the Europeans will announce a partial removal of
economic sanctions against Iran".
The report said that Europeans have realized that softening Iran's
economic sanctions is a must since they have failed to prevent Iran
from installing thousands of new generation centrifuges and the
economic sanctions have left no impact on the activities of Iranian
scientists.
