Tehran, Nov 30, IRNA – Former European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said negotiations with Iran is an unprecedented chance for Iran.
In an article in 'Syndicate Project' website, he assessed the prevailing atmosphere of latest round of talks between Iran and G5+1 as successful.
He noted that 'Agreement between Iran and the “E3+3” (Britain, France, and Germany from the European Union, plus China, Russia, and the United States) remains elusive,' adding that 'the US President Barack Obama, having suffered a severe midterm election defeat, must now deal with a Congress under full Republican control. In the eurozone, economic growth remains anemic, causing leaders to look inward.'

He stressed that 'concluding a deal with Iran on its nuclear program remains an unfinished item of global business.'

Though 'the negotiations in Vienna failed to produce a deal that is critically important to both regional and global stability,' he wrote, 'the atmosphere is positive: Iran fulfilled its obligations under last year’s interim agreement, and the E3+3 showed a willingness to end sanctions.'

Stressing that 'the West has a unique window of opportunity,' Solana believed that 'achieving a deal is essential to avoid a new – and potentially catastrophic – conflict in the Middle East.'

The former EU officials underlined in his article that 'Negotiation and diplomacy are the only way to resolve the Iranian nuclear question in the long term and to normalize Iran’s critical role in regional security.'
