TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says lifting sanctions imposed on Iran would help achieve progress in nuclear talks currently under way in Geneva.
State television quoted him on Tuesday saying “canceling the mistakes you made” would “definitely be helpful,” referring to several rounds of U.N. sanctions.
Ahmadinejad spoke to a crowd in the Iranian city of Arak.
Iranian negotiators and representatives of the six world powers met in Geneva Tuesday for a second day of talks over U.N. Security Council demands that Tehran curb its nuclear activities.
The U.S. and its allies fear Iran is using its nuclear program as a cover for developing weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
