“Documents do circulate for various purposes; the delegations do exchange their ideas, including on paper, but this is not the same as compiling the future agreement,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
“There is no document to accumulate all ideas, and I dare to say that it will start to take shape prior to the deadline for the negotiations, namely before June 30,” he continued.
Since November 2013, Iran and the P5+1 group of international negotiators, comprising Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, have been making efforts to reach a long-term nuclear deal guaranteeing the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear program.
The current round of Iranian nuclear talks began on Sunday in Lausanne, Switzerland and will last until March, 21.
The negotiators have set March 24 as a deadline for a political framework deal, with a final comprehensive agreement to be agreed upon by July.
On Thursday, Iran's senior nuclear negotiator Hamid Baeidinejad said that Iran views March 24 as a flexible deadline but stays committed to reaching a final agreement in late June.
