MOSCOW: World powers concerned about Iran's nuclear programme want Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment during a negotiation period; Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying Saturday.
"Our first conditions are the freezing, suspension of uranium enrichment. The approach of the six powers is that Iran should suspend enrichment only for the period in which talks continue," Lavrov told Russian news agencies.
Lavrov, speaking after talks in London among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany, said there had been no discussion of imposing new sanctions on Iran.
