Kerry:

Negotiation making ‘significant progress’

Negotiation making ‘significant progress’

VIENNA, Jul. 05 (MNA) – US Secretary of State Kerry has told reporters on Vienna negotiation has had ‘real progress.’

Mehr News team of correspondents in Vienna report said that Mr. John Kerry of the US spoke shortly to the press after his third meeting with Javad Zarif of Iran in the negotiations venue in Palais Coburg on Sunday, where he admitted a significant progress in talks underway between Iran and the 5+1.

“Today, all foreign ministers will come to Vienna; now we should see whether a nuclear deal is accessible,” said Mr. Kerry, standing before the press and flash of cameras. “We have had a real progress in talks, and no time in the history of the negotiations had we been closer to a final deal,” he added, reading from his written piece on a paper. “We have been working hard and will continue to do so; Iranians are working hectically as well, and nothing except a good deal would satisfy us: a deal which blocks Iran’s 4 possible paths toward a nuclear bomb,” he told the press.

Kerry told the reporters that they predicted to strike a deal by July 7; “as President Obama has said, now we are prepared to abandon negotiation table; however, we do not want such a thing,” he added.

Earlier in his speeches to the press John Kerry however had said that deal with Iran was possible, but hinged upon a ‘political will’ of both sides. Kerry had been in Lausanne for 8 consecutive days in last May; he sat in a 9-hour meeting with Mr. Zarif to find what would satisfy him; this time however, he broke his own record here in Vienna, with entering his 10th day in the negotiation venue. In parallel to Zarif and Kerry, Salehi and Moniz also sat in a session.
