Iran says recognition of nuclear rights prerequisite for " success" of talks
Source: Xinhua
Iranian foreign minister said Friday that if his country's nuclear rights are not recognized in the nuclear talks, there would be no chance of success for the negotiations, semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
"Any agreement which does not satisfy Iran and does not recognize Iran's (nuclear) rights and is not based on mutual respect, has no chance for success," Foreign Minister Maohammad- Javad Zarif was quoted as saying.
"If the other party does not become rapacious, Tehran will respond to positive behavior with a reciprocal positive measure," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir- Abdollahian was quoted as saying.
Officials from Iran and the P5+1 group, namely Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany, will resume negotiations over Iran's disputed nuclear program in Geneva on Nov. 20 after an initial round of talks ended last week without an agreement.

Pressure from a nuclear armed country which *hasn't* signed the NPT should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism.
