‘Significant progress’ in nuclear talks, says Zarif

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) All-night nuclear talks between Iran and major powers made “significant progress,” but there is no “final result yet,” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said today during a break in negotiations.

“We don’t have any final result yet,” Zarif told reporters in Switzerland. The six powers “have to examine among themselves the results of the negotiations. We don’t know yet the result of those discussions.”

“This should happen this morning,” he said. “If these solutions are approved, it is expected that there will be a joint declaration made by me and Mrs (Federica) Mogherini”, the EU foreign policy chief, Zarif said.

“There will be a statement to the press which should be announced but the text still has to be worked on,” Zarif said. /End/
