ISTANBUL, Jan 22 (Reuters) – Six world powers were “disappointed” with the stance taken by Iran during nuclear talks in Istanbul, and its preconditions were unacceptable, European Union foreign policy chief Catherin Ashton said on Saturday.
Adressing a news conference at the end of the two days of talks, Ashton said there were no further meetings planned at present, but the door remained open for Iran.
“The process can go forward if Iran chooses to respond positively,” she said. “We now wait to hear…whether Iran will respond on reflection.” (Reporting by David Brunnstrom; editing by Simon Cameron-Moore)
