Historic meet chance to end deadlock: Iran MPs
[Al Arabiya Latest] Iranian MPs told world powers on Tuesday not to repeat "past mistakes" in this week's Geneva talks and instead to use the historic meeting as a chance to end deadlock.
The MPs joint-statement came as the republic said it would soon inform the United Nations nuclear watchdog of a timetable for inspection of a newly disclosed uranium enrichment plant.
Raising the stakes ahead of Thursday's rare meeting, 239 lawmakers signed a statement expressing support for negotiations based on proposals put forward by Iran, which do not mention Tehran's own nuclear program.
May 2nd, 2013 at 2:30 pm looks like it's still open at the Qom plant. Can any IAEA inspectors make themselves available at that time? | "We remind the negotiating countries that this is an historic opportunity which can be a way out of the current deadlock and solve the problems," the MPs said in a statement quoted by state broadcaster IRIB.
"We recommend the 5+1 (six powers) to use this historic opportunity," it said. "If the group of 5+1 repeats past mistakes instead of using this opportunity, the Iranian parliament would take other decisions as it did in the past."
