IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 26, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that talks to determine venue, date and content of the negotiations with Group 5+1 is under discussion.

In a press conference in Tehran Media and News Agencies exhibition venue on Tuesday afternoon, answering a question by IRNA on Iran’s reply to European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton request for negotiation, Mottaki said that Iran and Group 5+1 have declared their political intention for resuming talks.

He expressed hope that through talks which are underway, the two sides can reach agreements on venue, date, content and agenda of the negotiations.

Replying to another question concerning refusal of certain European airports to refuel Iranian airplanes, Mottaki said that the action has nothing to do with sanctions, but it is a harassment action to deprive passengers of their right of travel by plane.

He underlined that Iran has already given warnings over this action and if it continues in some European capitals, Iran will do reciprocal action.
