MP: Current sanctions make dialogue with G5+1 meaningless

Iran Materials 26 January 2011 23:02 (UTC +04:00)

A lawmaker, Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, said on Wednesday that there is no need for Iran's return to the negotiating table with G5+1 if the threats, sanctions and pressures against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue. 
  
'Negotiations should lead to common grounds and if they do not bear any result, there is no need to continue,' Naqavi Hosseini, a member of Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission added.

'The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize jurisdiction of the G5+1 for negotiations on Iran's nuclear activities,' Naqavi Hosseini told IRNA.

Referring to recent talks between Iran and G5+1 in Istanbul on January 21-22, he noted that the G5+1 countries did not seize the golden opportunity in Istanbul and the talks did not have any positive results.

'Iran has always welcomed negotiations because it prefers logic of talks to any other logic. If 5+1 does not have any plan in the next round of talks with Iran and it does not seek to resolve any problem, Iran will set more difficult conditions for talks afterwards,' the lawmaker added.
