Historic meet chance to end deadlock: Iran MPs | |
2009-09-30 | |
[Al Arabiya Latest] Iranian MPs told world powers on Tuesday not to repeat "past mistakes" in this week's Geneva talks and instead to use the historic meeting as a chance to end deadlock. The MPs joint-statement came as the republic said it would soon inform the United Nations nuclear watchdog of a timetable for inspection of a newly disclosed uranium enrichment plant. Raising the stakes ahead of Thursday's rare meeting, 239 lawmakers signed a statement expressing support for negotiations based on proposals put forward by Iran, which do not mention Tehran's own nuclear program.
"We recommend the 5+1 (six powers) to use this historic opportunity," it said. "If the group of 5+1 repeats past mistakes instead of using this opportunity, the Iranian parliament would take other decisions as it did in the past." | |
