MOSCOW (Sputnik)�� The P5+1 group, the European Union and Iran are holding negotiations aimed at�reaching a deal that would ensure a peaceful nature of�Tehran's nuclear activities in�exchange for�the relief of�sanctions imposed on�the country.
"With a final nuclear agreement at�hand, I hope my counterparts will make the historic choice between�co-operation and conflict.
