Iran is ready to resume talks on nuclear program with the "Six" international mediators, France Press agency reported with reference to the Iranian Parliament speaker's statement Ali Larijani on Monday.
"We have always stated about our willingness to participate in these negotiations," the agency quoted Larijani's statement as saying. "But we have no time to joke. We are not against the negotiations. However, they should be held in an atmosphere of fairness."
Last Friday, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton said that the negotiation process within the "six" of international mediators on Iran may be resumed for the next few weeks if Tehran is willing to seriously engage in meaningful discussions on its nuclear program, RIA Novosti reported.
Several Western countries including the U.S., fear that Iran is using its nuclear program to develop nuclear weapons. But Tehran rejects the accusations, claiming that all its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful and aimed at ensuring the country's needs for electricity and for medical purposes.
So far, the UN Security Council to suspend the nuclear program of Iran was adopted six resolutions, four of which involve economic and some political sanctions against Iran.
