France-Nuclear-Negotiation
French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy has once more said that his country supports holding talks with Iran.
He added that while negotiations on Iran's nuclear issue are still underway in the West to come up with a new solution, it is better to continue talks with Iran at the same time.
Quoting the French foreign minister on Thursday, the French magazine, Valeurs Actuel, added that meanwhile, Douste-Blazy indirectly warned the US that the tendency towards a conflict in the region is somehow likely.
He urged the international community to keep its unanimity of views on Iran's nuclear issue.
The minister warned that if someday one or two members of the UN Security Council dismiss negotiations on the issue and the tendency for conflict keeps growing it will create a major gap in the international community.
He underlined the significance of unity in the West on the issue, while according to some diplomats in Vienna, discord among the five permanent members of the UNSC having veto right plus Germany (5+1 group) has become deeper.
The Vienna-based diplomats believe that the talks between Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, which has been described as constructive by both sides, is the most important cause for such a difference of ideas.
