Iran demands lifting of sanctions in nuclear talks: Jalili
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili says the lifting of the Western sanctions on Iran is one of the demands of the Iranian nation in the talks with the P5+1 group of major global powers, Press TV reported.

"In the course of the negotiations and collaborations, Iran's trust must be gained," the chief Iranian negotiator said at a press conference following the talks with the representatives of the P5+1 - Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany - on Saturday.

He said that SNSC Deputy Secretary Ali Baqeri and EU Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs Helga Schmid have been assigned to prepare the draft of a framework for cooperation.

"After the approval of this draft in the May 23 meeting in Baghdad, bilateral cooperation will commence," Jalili added.

"We have agreed to base all nuclear cooperation on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)," he added.

Iran and the P5+1 wrapped up their negotiations on Saturday in the Turkish city of Istanbul. Both sides of the talks have both hailed the Saturday talks as successful and constructive.

The Iranian delegation was headed by Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) while the delegations of the six global powers were led by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

The next round of talks between the two parties is to be held on May 23 in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
