The proposal package, if agreed upon at the first stage, will automatically commit the other party to ‘the recognition of the uranium enrichment right on Iran's soil’ as the objective of the negotiations, Xinhua reported citing a report by semi-official ISNA news agency.
The package also encompasses mutual steps in the course of negotiations so that the finality can be reached, according to the report.
‘The Iranian officials believe that, without any agreement on the first stage, the continuation of the negotiations will be very difficult and probably impossible.’ The P5+1 group, which includes the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany, will resume talks with Iran on its controversial nuclear programme in Geneva 15-16 October. On Friday, Press TV reported that Iran would attend the upcoming nuclear talks in Geneva with new proposals. Media outlets reported on Wednesday that Iran is preparing a package of proposals to halt production of 20 per cent enriched uranium, a key demand of the US and other global powers.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the package includes ‘limits on the numbers of centrifuges operating, enrichment amounts and the need for verification’. Tehran in return will request that the US and European Union begin scaling back sanctions, said the report. On the day, sources close to the Iranian nuclear negotiating team said Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif will be present in the negotiations only if other parties are represented by their foreign ministers, according to Press TV.
In case the meeting is not held at the foreign ministers level, the deputy of Iran's foreign minister for legal and international affairs, Abbas Araqchi, will lead Iran's negotiating team.
