Moscow talks will certainly fail: MP - Gayo Lues
Western countries are trying to achieve their goal by using force and [mounting] pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran and we are not a country that will give in to force. Therefore, these negotiations will be a formality and will bear no fruit.”
Iranian lawmaker Esmail Kowsari
“These negotiations will certainly and undoubtedly fail to produce any result because they [global powers] want to use bullying and pressure in talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran and we will not bow to their pressure,” Esmail Kowsari noted on Saturday.
Iran and the P5+1 – US, Britain, France, China, and Russia, plus Germany – started new rounds of multifaceted talks on April 14 in Istanbul after a 15-month disruption. The second round of talks wrapped up in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, on May 24 after two days of negotiations. Both parties then agreed to hold the third round of talks in the Russian capital, Moscow, on June 18 and 19.
However, the P5+1 have so far refused to discuss the agenda of Moscow talks with Iran’s negotiating teams Helga Schmid, deputy to EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, and his Iranian counterpart, Ali Baqeri, who were originally supposed to hammer out the agenda for Moscow talks through preliminary meetings in Moscow.
Referring to the foot-dragging of some Western negotiating parties in Moscow, the Iranian lawmaker stated that in view of the negative atmosphere created by the United States, UK, and even France, there is no doubt that the Moscow talks will go nowhere.
“Western countries are trying to achieve their goal by using force and [mounting] pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran and we are not a country that will give in to force. Therefore, these negotiations will be a formality and will bear no fruit,” he added.
Pointing to recent remarks by the Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal who described Iran a threat to regional countries, Kowsari said “They [Saudis] are dependent on the United States and repeat Americans’ claims.”
“Iranophobia is the joint project of the US and Zionists and the Saudi foreign minister’s remarks show that they are afraid of …their own people because over the past 30 years Iran has never committed the slightest act of aggression against even its smallest and weakest neighbor,” he added.
