Iran is keen to speed up nuclear talks with EU, Ramezanzadeh

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 7, IRNA -- Iran is keen to speed up negotiations with the 
European partners and see transparent stance from the two parties, 
Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh said on Monday. 
He told reporters that Iran has declared voluntary suspension of 
uranium enrichment and has welcomed negotiations on national nuclear 
program and at the same time does not want to see prolongation of the 
timetable for negotiations with the European Union (EU). 
He said that Washington is willing to sabotage Iran-EU 
negotiations. Of course, it will depend on the European partners 
whether or not to be influenced by Washington, he said. 
Responding to a question about the US officials anti-Iran 
statements, he said that the government has decided not to show 
reaction to their rhetoric except giving only a one word in reply to 
them. 
"We don`t see it proper for the government to give answer to their
repetitive allegations," he said. 
"Our nation proved that it never allowed any aggressors to benefit
from aggression on Iran. We are well prepared to defend our country. 
"The language of threat is not acceptable to us. We are ready to 
hold dialogue and ready to defend our country," the spokesman said.
