Iran-EU-package
A member of Iran's parliament (Majlis) said on Sunday that Tehran was not in a hurry to comment or reject the Group 5+1's latest package of incentives.
The package was handed over on Saturday to Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana who arrived in Tehran Friday night for talks aimed at helping resolve a dispute over Iran's nuclear program.
Solana also presented a message to Mottaki from foreign ministers of the group's six member states (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- China, Russia, France, Britain and the US -- plus Germany).
It was the first time that foreign ministers of all G5+1 have sent a singed letter to Iran, representative of the western city of Boroujerd in Lorestan province, Alaeddin Boroujerdi told reporters on the sidelines of Majlis Sunday session.
He added that Tehran would study the package taking into consideration the "red lines" of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The MP said that Tehran has also reserved the right for non-suspension of uranium enrichment to produce fuel for power plants.
Referring to the issue of Iran's package of proposals to deal with international developments, Boroujerdi said exchange of packages between Iran and the EU has brought a balance in the process of talks between the two sides.
Iran has lately presented a comprehensive package suggesting consensus on different political, security, economic, nuclear and cultural fields as well as regional and international cooperation with the Western countries as well as international bodies including the United Nations.
It was welcomed by many world countries that believed the package could prepare the ground for future perspectives.
"We can reach agreements with the other side about common aspects of the two packages," Boroujerdi said.
