Answering a question about today's meeting between Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Undersecretary Ali Baqeri and Helga Schmid, the deputy to the EU foreign policy chief, in Istanbul, Mehman-Parast said that talks are aimed at brining the two sides' views closer and reaching an agreement acceptable to both sides.
"If these talks reach a certain result in a way that both concerns of the other side are removed and our rights are fully recognized in a (specific) period of time, that would be the best solution to the problem, and we hope that negotiations will be pursued in this way," Mehman-Parast told reporters on Tuesday.
He said that Iran has reiterated its preparedness to continue cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the best way and remove the other sides' concerns about its peaceful nuclear program.
Deputies to the top negotiators of Iran and the six world powers plan to discuss ways of narrowing the differences in their meeting today.
The two sides will decide on the date and venue of the next round of talks between Iran and the G5+1.
Iran and the G5+1 agreed to hold the expert-level talks during their negotiations in the Russian capital, Moscow, in June.
The Moscow meetings came after three sessions of plenary talks in Baghdad in May and an earlier round of negotiations in Istanbul in mid-April.
The two sides had, prior to the Istanbul talks, held two rounds of negotiations, one in Geneva, Switzerland, in December 2010, and another in Istanbul in January 2011.
