According to TASS Russian News Agency, "We don’t support the anti-Iranian sanctions and don’t consider them right," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, adding that he hopes that "the nuclear deal will be functioning."
"We also plan to exert more efforts to increase our trade. Moreover, we will continue cooperation to ensure protection of Al Aqsa and Palestine," he added.
The Iranian top diplomat, in turn, informed about the plans to hand over to Turkish officials "a draft of Iran’s proposals on a long-term comprehensive agreement between the two countries."
"We have agreed to organize a meeting of a joint economic commission in the near future," he said.
According to IRNA, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on Monday during a joint press conference with Çavuşoğlu in Ankara said that the upcoming JCPOA revival talks could lead to an agreement if the US and the three European members of the nuclear deal act realistically.
Amirabdollahian was referring to the indirect talks with the United States, which are set to begin in Qatar’s capital Doha on Tuesday.
The talks are the continuation of the negotiations taking place in Vienna since April 2021, aiming to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, and to remove the sanctions the US reinstated on Iran after it withdrew from the accord in May 2018.
The top Iranian diplomat said that the Doha talks could hopefully lead to an agreement if the US, as well as the UK, Germany, and France, behave realistically.
