Ashton accepts Iran’s date for talks

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have reportedly agreed to Iran’s proposed date for comprehensive talks.

Sources close to the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, told Press TV on Friday that the multifaceted talks could be held on December 5 as suggested by Iran.

The group also wants the comprehensive talks to be held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The agreed date is one of the two proposed by the Islamic Republic earlier this week.

Tehran says it is serious in talks and has called on the P5+1 to adopt a constructive approach.

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has reiterated that any dialog with the P-5+1 group must be based on justice and respect.
