1st LD: Iran not bound with time limit in nuclear talks: president

Xinhua, June 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Iran is not bound with the deadline for talks over a comprehensive deal on the country's nuclear program, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said here on Saturday.

"Iran is serious in the nuclear talks and is not after buying time. But we do not limit ourselves to a specific time to achieve a good deal," Rouhani said in a press conference.

If the other side does not pose excessive demands, the agreement is possible in the agreed time frame, he said.

However, the Western side incessantly poses new demands in the meetings, bringing about new bargainings, elongating the talks and postponing the deal, he added. Endit
