German FM disappointed by Iran answer to sextet nuke proposals.
BERLIN, August 7 (Itar-Tass) - German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter
Steinmeier is disappointed by Iran's answer to proposals of the "six"
(Russia, Great Britain, China, the United States, France plus Germany) on
the settlement of the conflict around its nuclear programme.
"By our proposal we stressed that we seek the settlement of the
nuclear dispute by diplomatic methods," said Steinmeier. According to the
minister, the German government considers the answer received from Tehran
"insufficient."
Nevertheless, the foreign minister noted, the European Union and the
"sextet" continue to hold to the double approach principle. It means the
unambiguous adherence to the conflict settlement at the negotiating table.
However, if Iran fails to cooperate with the international community, the
UN Security Council will take up the Iranian nuclear dossier.
Steinmeier stressed the importance of the consolidation of the
"sextet" as a major prerequisite for the attainment of success in the
settlement of the nuclear dispute with Iran.
