FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday that Zebari welcomed a proposal put forward by Tehran calling on Baghdad to host the new round of comprehensive talks between Iran and P5+1.
The foreign minister confirmed that he will carry out the necessary contacts with relevant parties on the proposal.
Iran’s proposal was made during a meeting between Zebari and a high-ranking Iranian delegation, headed by Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Baqeri and the SNSC Director General for Arab Affairs Reza Amiri in Baghdad on Tuesday.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that the talks between Iran and the P5+1 will resume in Turkey on April 13-14.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, however, said on Wednesday that the SNSC Secretary Saeed Jalili would announce the venue for the talks in the near future.
Speaking to the reporters, he expressed optimism about the outcomes of the upcoming negotiations, saying, “I think that future talks will result in better achievements and (the parties involved) will take a step forward.”
Iran and the P5+1 have held two rounds of multifaceted talks, one in Geneva in December 2010 and another in the Turkish city of Istanbul in January 2011.
Tehran says it is ready to resume the talks based on common grounds; however, it has repeatedly made it clear that it will not negotiate on any of its nuclear rights.
Iran maintains that, as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has every right to acquire and develop nuclear technology for peaceful objectives.
