Moscow is confident that a final agreement on Iran�s nuclear program will be reached and does not expect these talks to be extended over a long period, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has said.

�This agreement will be reached. In my opinion, we have already crossed the line before which we could have doubted that,� he told reporters on the sidelines of the academic forum of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) on Friday.

�I believe there is a high degree of certainty today that this agreement is not only possible, but it will be reached. I would not forecast any concrete date, but any lengthy extension of these talks is unlikely,� Ryabkov said.
