Iran, Russia differ on nuke talks

Tuesday, 21 February , 2006, 20:17

Moscow: Iran and Russia held "positive" talks on a Kremlin offer to conduct uranium enrichment for Tehran, Iran's chief negotiator said on Tuesday, but there was skepticism in Moscow that the Islamic regime was ready for compromise.


"In our belief, the trend of negotiations was positive and constructive," Ali Hosseinitash told state-run Iranian television as he left Moscow after two days of meetings, adding that the two countries had agreed to continue talks.

"There are elements in these negotiations that give us grounds for hope that we will reach an agreement," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Hosseinitash, the deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, as saying.

The negotiations ended without any visible progress, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declined to label the talks a failure.

"I would be cautious about using the term 'failure' or 'setback' as long as the negotiations have not finished," he said in televised remarks.
