Turkey will be on Iran\u2019s side in future talks with 5+1: ex-MP<\/p>\n
Tehran Times Political Desk<\/p>\n
TEHRAN — Former lawmaker Hamid-Reza Taraqi has said that Iran will not be alone in the next round of talks with the 5+1 group and will have Turkey on its side.<\/p>\n
Iran and the 5+1 group (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany) held talks in Geneva from December 6 to 7. The two sides agreed that the next round of talks be held in Istanbul in late January.<\/p>\n
According to Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili, who represented Iran at the talks, the next round of negotiations will focus on \u201ccommon ground for cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Talking to the Mehr News Agency on Saturday, Taraqi said the fact that the talks will be held in Istanbul will place Turkey on Iran\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Given the failure of the 5+1 group in the previous round of talks, seemingly Iran will lead the negotiation to its preferred direction which is finding solutions to international issues, added Taraqi, a senior member of the Islamic Coalition Party.<\/p>\n
Talks must be based on defined framework<\/p>\n
Professor Pirouz Mojtahedzadeh has also said the next round of talks must be based on a clear framework and mutual understanding.<\/p>\n
If the two sides again insist on their own opinions, the negotiations will bear no fruit, Mojtahedzadeh, a renowned scholar and geopolitical expert, told the MNA.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore the talks with the 5+1 group, the Iranian delegation must make diplomatic attempts to negotiate based on a clear framework for the first time,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Iran must disclose West\u2019s unjust stance<\/p>\n
Political analyst Mohammad-Hassan Qadiri-Abyaneh has suggested that the Iranian delegation use the opportunity provided by talks to disclose the \u201cunjust stance\u201d of the West.<\/p>\n
The Westerners do not like to see the prosperity of Islamic states as they are seeking to maintain their domination over these countries, he told the MNA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
