IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Feb 8, IRNA -- The new round of Iran-EU3 talks on Iran`s 
nuclear program started in the Swiss city of Geneva on Tuesday. 
An Iranian diplomat wishing to remain anonymous told IRNA that the
talks are going to be conducted by nuclear specialists. 
Reluctant to disclose further information on the issue, he hoped 
that the ongoing negotiations will bear positive results. 
He added that the talks are going to be held behind the closed 
doors and that the negotiators do not wish to present any information 
on the issue. 
Another Iranian diplomat declared on Monday that no news coverage 
is intended on the current negotiations. 
Similarly, the relevant EU officials have so far released no 
information on the third round of talks which is currently underway. 
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Hassan 
Rowhani and the senior Iranian negotiator on Iran`s nuclear program 
has said that the relevant talks will only continue in case any 
progress is to be achieved in the ongoing process. 
"The two sides had earlier agreed on a three-month negotiation 
period due to be expired on March 15, 2005," added Rowhani. 
The first two rounds of Iran-EU nuclear talks were conducted in 
the Belgian capital city of Brussels and the Swiss city of Geneva
