TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian lawmaker underlined that Tehran would never take part in those negotiations where the opposite side intends to impose its aspirations on Iran.

"The negotiation which aims to serve the interests of the bullying powers and impose the demands of the westerners is not negotiations and we do not accept it," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Parviz Sarvari told FNA.

"As we have repeatedly said , only those talks can be effective that aim to achieve specific goals without wasting time and imposing westerners' demands," Sarvari added.

He also underscored that negotiations should be done in a specific period of time.

Meantime, the legislator reiterated that "since Iran has elucidated all aspects of its peaceful nuclear program, holding negotiations in this regard is meaningless".

Iran and the West are at loggerheads over Tehran's nuclear program. Iran says its nuclear program is a peaceful drive to produce electricity so that the world's fourth-largest crude exporter can sell more of its oil and gas abroad and provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
