Tehran, IRNA -- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman emphasized here on Saturday that if the EU trio will instead of emphasizing on useless and outdated blame-game show seriousness and strong will aimed at reaching agreement then achieving progress in nuclear negotiations is possible.

Saeed Khatibzadeh made the remarks while answering the media reporters' questions on remarks made by the three European countries' diplomats and also propaganda in the time schedule for G4+1 delegations return to the next round of Vienna negotiations.

He said that on the contrary of Western sides' claims on Iran's request for delaying the negotiations, both those countries, and the other sides are well aware that this delay is due to the Christmas holidays of the Europeans.

"This is not the first time that the western sides of these negotiations are deviating the truth and spreading false and misleading information," he said.

"These three countries have probably somehow intended to make up for their own previous request to return to their capital cities before the scheduled time," added Khatibzadeh.
