Iran ready for nuclear talks before proposed date
0 
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Sunday that Iran is ready for nuclear talks even before the proposed date, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
"We had announced our readiness for the talks many times," Mehmanparast said, adding that Iran is ready for the talks even before the proposed date.
On Friday, the European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in Brussels that Iran has announced that it was ready to resume talks over the nuclear program after Nov. 10.
"Now, what is necessary to be done is both sides should, in further contact with each other, make agreements on the details and content of the talks," Mehmanparast told Fars.
The spokesman also suggested the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (G5+1) to have "more interaction" with Iran in order to reach a "serious agreement" with the country on its nuclear issue, the official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.
"The two sides are in touch and if they show more interaction, we can reach a serious agreement about ... the agenda of this round of talks," he was quoted as saying.
"The two sides should make more agreements about the time, venue and details of the talks," he added.
Mehmanparast also noted that Tehran believes the next round of talks will be "good", according to IRNA.
"Iran has repeatedly announced its readiness for talks," said the spokesman stressing that the atmosphere of the talks should change from its "previous aggressive" tone into a more " constructive one with the cooperation of all countries," said the report.
Earlier in the day, Ali Akbar Javanfekr, media adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that Iran will not talk about its nuclear issue in the upcoming meeting with G5+1, unless they announce their views over the atomic bombs Israel possesses and specify whether they are talking with Iran from a friend or an enemy's position.
