TEHRAN (ISNA)- A senior member of Iranian nuclear negotiator said the country would not accept any solution which does not include lifting sanctions imposed against Iran.
'Any solution which does not include lifting sanctions will not be accepted by us,' Abbas Arqchi told ISNA.
His remarks came after the US negotiator said no offer has been given to Iran on easing sanctions.
Also, asked whether the expert talks held recently between Iran and G5+1 in Geneva were positive on sanctions, he said, 'Only capabilities and possibilities of the two sides were discussed in Geneva talks and expert talks between Iran and G5+1 in Geneva. No agreement has been yet made between the two parties on these issues.'
Iran and the group held expert talks on October 30-31 in Geneva.
The last meeting of the seven countries was in Geneva and lasted for two days on October 15 and 16. Both Tehran and the delegations of the G5+1 voiced satisfaction in the outcomes of the Geneva meeting and decided to send their experts to two days of talks in Vienna on October 30 and 31 to discuss details of Iran's new proposal for soothing the crisis.
At the end of the negotiations, EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, who presides over the delegations of the six world powers, hailed the nuclear negotiations as the "most detailed" and most "substantive" ones ever held between the two sides.
