VIENNA, May 14. /ITAR-TASS/. If Iran and the P5+1 (five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany) may reach a comprehensive agreement by July 20 if they exert proper efforts, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Tasnim news agency on Wednesday, May 14.

“It is quite important and in some way crucial that we finish the fourth day of talks with something more than just an exchange of stances and views. I think there are some reasons to be hopeful although I wouldn’t call my mood optimistic because it is very difficult and challenging. However, political will is clearly in place on the part of the group and I believe it is so on the part of Iranian delegation,” he said.

“So I think with due diligence, attention, with efforts and creativity, we would be able to complete this effort with achieving a real tracking so that we complete the comprehensive agreement in time, as said, by July 20th,” Ryabkov said.
