Iran lawmakers demand 鈥榝act sheet鈥
Print Edition
A MAJORITY of Iranian lawmakers yesterday demanded the country鈥檚 negotiators publish a 鈥渇act sheet鈥 on a newly agreed framework nuclear accord, while denouncing details laid out in an American version.
鈥淚n a letter, members of parliament asked for the publishing of an Iranian fact sheet, and so far 212 have signed it,鈥 Javad Karimi Ghodusi, a member of the 290-seat assembly, was quoted as saying by the IRNA news agency.
On April 2, Iran and world powers agreed on a framework accord to be finalized by June end to rein in Tehran鈥檚 nuclear program in exchange for the lifting international sanctions.
Only one official statement with limited details was issued at the time, jointly by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.
Later on, however, the US State Department published on its website an outline of some more key issues of the framework. Zarif criticized the US version, saying on Twitter that 鈥渢he solutions are good for all, as they stand. There is no need to spin using 鈥榝act sheets鈥 so early on.鈥
After every political event, 鈥渆ach side focuses on their own perspective of what has happened and what will happen, and it is natural that each side highlights the parts that are more to their benefit,鈥 said Abbas Araghchi, a top Iranian negotiator.
鈥淭he Americans did it in written form ... and our narrative which was a real one was thoroughly expressed in Mr Zarif鈥檚 remarks. We don鈥檛 intend to publish it in writing yet, but we will do so if necessary.鈥
Another negotiator, Iranian Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi, said the US fact sheet mixed up 鈥渢ruth and lies.鈥
Iran鈥檚 supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said: 鈥淭he main problem is that from now on details must be discussed, and since the other party is unloyal, stubborn and into backstabbing, in the discussions on details they might restrict鈥 the negotiators and Iran.
