TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran will not negotiate with anyone about its right to nuclear technology, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday, hours before talks aimed at defusing an atomic row with the West were to start in Rome.
“We are in favor of talks but we will not negotiate with anyone about our right to nuclear technology,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by Iranian state television during his trip to Armenia, which ended on Tuesday.
“The party which should set conditions is Iran not the other party,” he was quoted as saying.
