UN, September 27 (RIA Novosti) - The next round of talks between Iran and the "6" (the five permanent members of UN's Security Council and Germany) will take place in Europe, Javad Zarif, Iran's Foreign Minister, told Russian reporters after he met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
"It will take place somewhere in Europe because New York is too far," Zarif said.
According to Iran's Foreign Minister, the date and time of the meeting will be communicated additionally.
"We are still discussing it… We still have to meet a number of times, as it has happened this week," he stated.
Zarif noted that Iran would not let go of this opportunity.
"The next two months will be very important; we face a lot of hard work," he said.
Earlier, the president of Iran stated that Iran expects agreements which would be beneficial for both sides, but which would also encompass the rights of Iranian people.
On September 24, the P5+1 group of international mediators, which includes Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Germany, met with the Iranian delegation in New York to discuss the Iranian nuclear program, though failed to reach an agreement with Tehran on any of the key issues.
The West accuses Tehran of working on a nuclear weapon under the guise of a civilian nuclear program – claims repeatedly denied by Iranian authorities. At a meeting held in November 2013 in Geneva, Iran and the P5+1 group agreed to reach a long-term nuclear agreement by July 2014. The deadline was later moved to November 2014.
