Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday that Iran nuclear talks had eliminated the fundamental areas of disagreement and there was a real chance of reaching a deal next week.
"Our general impression is that there is a very good chance that must not be missed," the Interfax news agency reported Lavrov as saying. "Now there are no fundamental disagreements on the practical questions that need to be resolved," he said.
All that is necessary now is to "correctly draw up the agreement we have reached in diplomatic language," he said. Yet he warned against adding further conditions for Iran to comply with when talks on curbing its nuclear program resume in Geneva on Wednesday.
Lavrov said the talks should not focus on "submitting some artificial additions that do not help solve the main task and don't essentially change anything."
