Moscow : Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has said that there is no way to deal with Iran’s nuclear issue but continued talks.
“Talks in Istanbul produced results and both parties managed to hold negotiations for two days,” he said while speaking in Nixon Center in Washington.
Rejecting the perspective of the US’ officials on the impact of sanctions against Iran, he further noted that Moscow believes that sanctions are futile and they will not affect Iran.
Underlining the significance of talks with Iran, he further said that sanctions will worsen the situation.
Russian officials have on several occasions declared that they are opposed to unilateral sanctions and called the approach unacceptable, Ryabkov said.
Moreover, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in the ongoing Davos Economic Seminar that there is no sign of Iran’s attempts to get access to nuclear weapons and its is seeking peaceful nuclear energy.
