IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New York, Sept 21, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that Iran and the US need no mediating party for negotiations and the West has no choice but to talk with Iran.
He made the remarks in an interview with the US media and in response to a question whether the talks require mediation or not.
Commenting on the preliminary conditions for rapprochement of ties with the US and start of negotiations, he further noted that the first step towards improving Tehran-Washington ties is the change in US attitude.
'As long as Washington is out to extend hegemony over Iran and the Middle East, the current problems will persist,' he contended.
It should talk with other nations based on mutual respect and justice, he said.
