Iranian Foreign Ministry outlines end point of nuclear negotiations with P5+1
Lifting sanctions against Iran and accepting Iran`s nuclear rights will be the end point of the nuclear negotiations, ministry`s spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said at the weekly press conference, IRINN reported.
She went on to note that Iran has earlier suggest a two step approach for Iran- P5+1 group negotiations in Geneva, without disclosing the details.

The spokeswoman further expressed hope that the further perspectives and framework of the nuclear talks will be determined at the Geneva negotiations.

"Based on the results of the Geneva negotiations the sides will decide on the next steps," she said.

Six major powers and Iran on Thursday agreed to meet in Geneva next month for further talks on resolving the standoff with Tehran on its nuclear program, the European Union`s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Thursday.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York and included Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and counterparts from the United States, France, Russia, China and Germany.

"We want to spend our time in Geneva translating that into the practical details," said Ashton, adding: "I am very ambitious for what we can do, but we all know we have to be very practical."

Earlier, British Secretary William Hague described the tone and spirit of the meeting as "extremely good."

The U.S. and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing a nuclear weapon - something that Iran denies.

The Islamic Republic has on numerous occasions stated that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, using nuclear energy for medical researches instead.
