Mottaki: Fuel swap to take place only based on Tehran Declaration

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 3, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said fuel swap will be carried out only based on Tehran Declaration.

Talking to IRNA on Wednesday, he reacted to the western claims that they will offer a new package of proposals for fuel exchange in the future meetings of the 5+1 with Iran, saying the fuel swap has already got a framework and that is the Tehran Declaration.

He said if the Vienna group, after a time of non-action, feels ready to act within the framework set by the Tehran Declaration, then it has to finalize its moves.

He stressed that the only acceptable framework is the Tehran Declaration.

In answer to a question by IRNA whether any date, location or content has been set yet for the future talks with the 5+1, the foreign minister said that the Iranian negotiator has already considered and answered the letter of the European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashtone.

He hoped the place, date and the content of the talks will be determined soon.

However, he noted, these items are not clear yet.
