13 July 2006 [18:40] - TODAY.AZ
Iran's president said Thursday that Tehran is ready to hold talks with European negotiators but the United States should refrain from raising tensions around the country's controversial nuclear program.

"Iran is in favor of talks with Europe in an atmosphere of the law and justice to ease tensions around the Iranian nuclear program," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said.

He added that the Islamic Republic took a positive view on the proposals from Iran-6 negotiators, but said the United States was trying to make a problem out of this issue.

"We can resolve this problem with Europe, but we need time for talks to accomplish this goal," the president said.

Ahmadinejad said that in efforts to resolve the nuclear problem, Iran had always abided by its obligations within the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog, and international nonproliferation regulations, RIA Novosti reports.

"But if the United States makes problems without any reason and continues with its poisonous propaganda, Iran will review its policy in this sphere," the president said.
