Ahmad Reza Dastgheib, who sits on the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Majlis, said: The idea of holding separate talks with every single member of the group of six powers is “valuable” and regarded as “a diplomatic” move .
He, however, underscored that nuclear negotiations could not yield a final result unless the collective viewpoints of all members of the Sextet are taken into consideration as a whole.
The Iranian legislator made the remarks following a proposal by Ali Akbar Velayati, the diplomatic advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. Velayati had called for one-on-one negotiations between Iran and the Sextet of world powers.
Velayati said in a TV interview on December 27: “If we don’t have interaction with each of these six countries and don’t hold one-on-one talks with them, we have not used a right method. We should negotiate with different countries separately.”
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Germany sealed an interim agreement in Geneva on November 24 to set the stage for the full resolution of the decade-old dispute with Tehran over its nuclear energy program.
