TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and senior negotiator Seyed Abbas Araqchi said Tehran has found new ways to end the world powers' concerns about its nuclear program and meantime materialize its rights based on the international laws and regulations."For all the redlines that we have, we have found new solutions to remove their concerns," Araqchi told reporters after the second session of talks with the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) on Tuesday night.
"To make progress", he said, "the two sides (Iran and the six world powers) should change their approach," adding that no side is due to make concessions in the new approach.
Negotiating teams from Iran and the G5+1 had two sessions of talks on Tuesday morning and afternoon.
During the meetings, Iran presented a three-staged package of proposals to the opposite sides which includes confidence-building measures for a settlement of the Iran-West nuclear standoff.
On Tuesday, Araqchi told reporters that the content of Iran's proposals is "confidential" and will not be released to the media for now.
Araqchi said the two sides have agreed to keep it secret until an agreement is made.
Yet, both Iran and the world powers have described the meetings on Tuesday as "positive" and "constructive".
"Mr. Zarif (Iranian foreign minister) had a PowerPoint presentation of the plan in details, the generalities of the plan were discussed in the morning session and the details will be studied by (the two sides') political directors in the afternoon," Araqchi said after the end of the morning session of the talks.
Araqchi, who is also the spokesman of the Iranian team, told reporters that "the negotiations were held in a highly positive atmosphere and the two sides were serious when speaking of their issues".
Araqchi said that the world powers have welcomed the general points of Tehran's proposals on the settlement the country's nuclear standoff with the West, adding that Iran is seeking to encourage the opposite side to pursue a common goal for the negotiations.
"The Group 5+1 member states welcomed the generalities of Iran's plan," Araqchi told reporters before the start of the afternoon meeting.
And then after the second session today, a diplomatic source present in the negotiations said the delegations of the six world powers have shown a positive and constructive reaction to the details of Tehran's proposals.
"The atmosphere dominating the meeting was positive and constructive and the negotiations will continue tomorrow morning," a diplomatic source close to the Iranian delegation told FNA after the end of the second session of the Tuesday talks between Tehran and the G5+1 (the US, Russia, France, Britain and China plus Germany).
"Both sides (Iran and the six world powers) showed a serious attitude during the meeting and negotiations and several questions and answers were asked and answered face-to-face," the source added.
The diplomat said the two sides discussed "the details of Iran's three-staged proposal" and "the Iranian side elaborated on its plan".
