BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 21. The Iranian government is always ready to negotiate with all parties on the basis of mutual respect, Iranian government spokesperson, Fatemeh Mohajerani said at a press conference in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to her, Iran has always advocated negotiations and repeatedly raised this issue, however, the country was subjected to military air strikes while conducting negotiations.
“The other side should stop trying to dictate its demands. Iran conducts negotiations with all countries and never gives up these opportunities,” she noted.
Mohajerani pointed out that negotiations have their own principles and should be conducted based on national interests, while simply accepting the dictates of the other side is no longer negotiation.
She added that Iran is always in favor of peace.
