An Iranian lawmaker said here Sunday that the talks on Iran's proposed package is the best solution to Iran's nuclear standoff, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported.
"Negotiations within the framework of Iran's proposed package is the best solution to Iran's nuclear dispute," head of Iran's Parliament (Majlis) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi told reporters.
"Recognized principles of the UN nuclear watchdog and the Non-Proliferation Treaty as well as the framework provided by the two sides' proposed packages are the best possible solution," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying.
He made the remarks when asked about the European Union (EU) Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana's statements concerning the hope to meet Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in near future.
Solana in mid-June presented to Iran a new package of incentives proposed by six major powers, including Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany, suggesting that Iran get a temporary reprieve from economic and financial sanctions in exchange for freezing its enrichment activities.
However, Iran's government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said that the country would reject any nuclear deal offered by major world powers that demands a suspension of its uranium enrichment.
Iran's failure to answer the new package in a way expected by the West, reasoning that Iran's answer will be based on logical and constructive answers to Iran's already-proposed package to the Westerners which is aimed to help resolve regional and international problems including Iran's nuclear issue, disappointed the West.
The United States and its allies have accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program.
Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
