‘Iran proposal of Iraq for talks, wise’

In a phone conversation with Iran’s Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili on Friday, Ahmet Davutoglu described the relations between Tehran and Ankara as strategic and friendly.

Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday that Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari has welcomed the proposal by Tehran calling on Baghdad to host the new round of the comprehensive talks between Iran and P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany.)

Iran’s proposal was made during a meeting between Zebari and a high-ranking Iranian delegation, headed by SNSC Deputy Secretary Ali Baqeri and the SNSC Director General for Arab Affairs Reza Amiri in Baghdad on Tuesday.

Iran and the P5+1 have held two rounds of multifaceted talks, one in Geneva in December 2010 and another in the Turkish city of Istanbul in January 2011.

Tehran says it is ready to resume the talks based on common grounds; however, it has repeatedly made it clear that it will not compromise on any of its rights.
