Radio Sputnik Interview with Dr. Amirahmadi

The next talks on Iran's nuclear program between representatives from Tehran and the P5+1 group may take place next week, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told RIA Novosti on Monday.

The group is negotiating with Iran to reach a comprehensive agreement on Tehran's nuclear program, which has long been a point of concern for the international community. After repeated delays, the group is now set to sign an agreement with Iran, guaranteeing the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, by July 2015. The news comes as US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met in Geneva.
