Jalili: G5+1 should set aside costly, futile strategy
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Oct 15, IRNA -- Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili says the G5+1 should set aside the 'vain and costly' two-way strategy.
In an interview on the sidelines of Tehran Friday prayers congregation, Jalili said dialogue with Iran for cooperation is the only appropriate option left for the G5+1.
'We have always been saying that the only right option available for G5+1 is dialogue for cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The capacities and excellent position of Iran on regional and international levels are undeniable, proving wrongness and futility of any other option with regards to the Islamic Republic of Iran,' said Jalili.
He said, 'They (the G5+1) have well experienced that in the past 30 years and could at least avoid repeating the experience in the past one year and pay due cost. At any rate, any option other than admitting the rights and capacities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and dialogue will have no result for them.'
As for his letter to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, Catherine Ashton, Jalili said, 'In the letter sent to Mrs. Ashton, we said such arguments as the two-way strategy is wrong and vain, calling on them to return to dialogue based on logic instead of taking useless courses. Per the letter sent to Ashton, Iran welcomes their (G5+1) return to dialogue and abandoning other futile options.'
