MOSCOW. March 22 (Interfax) - Russia remains fully involved in the work on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and calls for refraining from sensationalizing meetings of the parties to the deal in any formats, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
"We are fully involved in the process, but no one is preventing the interested countries from discussing these things in the formats which they deem more convenient," Ryabkov said, commenting on media reports about the talks of Iran, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany on the JCPOA in Oslo.
"We're discussing many things both with China and Iran and will continue doing that. There is nothing that would turn normal, calm diplomatic processes into sensations. Unfortunately, we have ended up in the world where everything becomes a sensation. And it's inappropriate," Ryabkov said.
Iran's IRNA news agency said earlier that Iranian Deputy Foreign Ministry Ali Bagheri Kani had talks with diplomats from the UK, France, and Germany in Oslo last week, and the parties discussed reinstating the JCPOA.
