Iran urges P5+1 to put words into action

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has expressed optimism about the next round of talks between Tehran and the six major world powers (P5+1) in Baghdad, calling on the group to take practical steps.

“We are optimistic about the future of negotiations and want the other sides to put their words into action,” Mehmanparast told reporters in Zagreb, Croatia, on Wednesday.

He added that the latest round of Iran-P5+1 talks in Istanbul was held in a positive atmosphere, noting that the sides agreed to cooperate on the basis of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iran and the P5+1 - Russia, China, Britain, France, the US and Germany -- wrapped up their latest negotiations in the Turkish city of Istanbul on April 14 and agreed to hold the next round of the talks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on May 23, 2012. Both sides hailed the talks as constructive.
