Political will can lead to Iran-P5 1 nuclear deal: Zarif. Honest
2015-03-16
[Iran Press TV] Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Iran and the P5+1 global powers can reach a deal over Tehran's nuclear program if the six countries show the same political will as Iran.

"In my view, if the opposite side has the same political will as the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran, reaching a solution will not be difficult," Zarif said upon his arrival in the Swiss city of Lausanne on Sunday.

The Iranian chief nuclear negotiator added that technical aspects and the lifting of sanctions will be the two most important issues that will be discussed in the upcoming round of talks with the P5+1.

"There are two issues that need to be highlighted in this round of talks. One is regarding the issues which have not been resolved yet or those for which there are solutions but the details of which have not been fully discussed," he said.

He said that Iran and the P5+1 countries may require more elaborated discussions about certain technical topics, adding that head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi and US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz will start technical discussions on Sunday.

"The second issue pertains to the sanctions and the commitments of all parties...it should be made clear how the sanctions will be removed and what guarantees are provided for the agreement," Zarif stated.

He underscored the importance of working out a specific mechanism to make sure that all sides stick to their commitments.

Zarif said political directors of the P5+1 countries are also likely to join talks on Tuesday, noting that the negotiating sides should make efforts to put final touches on the proposed solutions as they should discuss all the proposed solutions before drafting the text of an agreement.
