MOSCOW. Feb 12 (Interfax) - A deal over Iran's nuclear program before the end of March this year is quite feasible, if necessary efforts are applied, says Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
"If you compare the main task, i.e. to normalize the situation around the Iranian nuclear program, to free the region and the world from new complications, new crises, maybe even hot crises of which there are more than enough, if you compare this task to what is now on the negotiating table (over Iran's nuclear program), I think, it is quite possible to reach a deal before the end of March," he told reporters at an even on the occasion of the Diplomat's Day at Moscow State Institute of International Relations.
"The time that will follow afterwards, that will remain in the framework of a decision to extend the talks beyond the March until the end of June - it, too, will be enough to agree upon and adopt technical documents, the so-called implementation appendices to the future deal, which will mean the algorithm of implementing the political scheme in question," Ryabkov said.
The negotiations over Iran's nuclear program continue but in slightly different ways, he said.
"The process continues but currently it is taking place in ways that are slightly different from those of the traditional meetings of political directors," the diplomat said.
The remaining "period of just over a month and a half could and should be enough" to resolve the problem of the Iranian nuclear program, Ryabkov said.
"But that requires demonstration of the political will and realism in assessing what is achievable and what is illusory or wishful thinking," the deputy minister said.
