FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The Islamic Republic of Iran should be allowed to use peaceful nuclear energy and such a right should be recognized by negotiators of the P5+1,” Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei told reporters on Thursday.
He made a reference to the latest round of the deputy-level negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 in the Turkish city of Istanbul and said the Islamic Republic has a “principled and logical” stance, which was announced during the talks.
Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Baqeri and deputy to the EU foreign policy chief Helga Schmid ended their day-long talks in Istanbul on Tuesday.
The Tuesday meeting was held three weeks after Iran and the P5+1, comprising Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany, held an expert-level meeting on July 3 in Istanbul with the participation of representatives and experts from both sides.
The two sides had agreed to hold the expert-level talks during their negotiations in the Russian capital, Moscow, in June.
The Moscow meetings came after three sessions of plenary talks in Baghdad in May and an earlier round of negotiations in Istanbul in mid-April.
The two sides had, prior to the Istanbul talks, held two rounds of negotiations, one in Geneva, Switzerland, in December 2010, and another in Istanbul in January 2011.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
