Diplomat: Iran not to hold nuclear talks in any EU country

A member of the Iranian nuclear delegation in Moscow said that Iran will not agree to hold nuclear program-related talks in any country of the EU, RIA Novosti reported.

Prior to the Moscow meeting, Iran and the 5+1 group held nuclear talks in Istanbul on April 14, and in Baghdad on May 23.

The West suspects Iran is trying to develop atomic bombs, while Iran says its nuclear work is solely for civilian purposes.

Iran has repeatedly dismissed the Western allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has every right to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
