Senior Iranian legislator Alaeddin Boroujerdi says the country's delegation in Geneva competently defended the rights and legitimacy of the Islamic Republic.
The most recent talks between Iran and the P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia, the US, plus Germany -- in Geneva was in fact "a clear manifestation of power and authority of the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic in line with the country's principal and logical positions," the head of the Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy said on Wednesday, Press TV reported.
Boroujerdi hailed Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili for defending the country's nuclear achievements and making statements in defense of assassinated Iranian scientist Majid Shahriari, who was targeted by unknown terrorists in Tehran on November 29.
He further condemned the West's silence over the recent terrorist attacks on Iranian scientists.
Iran and the major global powers resumed talks on December 6 after more than a year and agreed to continue negotiations over nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and peaceful nuclear cooperation.
Accessing peaceful nuclear technology is the absolute right of the Iranian nation and Tehran will never abandon its peaceful nuclear program, IRNA quoted Boroujerdi as saying.
