Iran views the West’s removal of punitive measures as the sole signifier of progress in talks with world powers on its nuclear issue, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said Saturday.

“(Only) the removal of all sanctions can be a sign of practical step (by the West), otherwise we cannot be hopeful about the results of the talks,” Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency quoted Boroujerdi as saying.

nian negotiators met with Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany in Geneva for two days of nuclear talks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Islamic Republic has reportedly signaled its willingness to curb parts of its nuclear program to secure urgent sanction relief.

“The crucially important point in the negotiations is the recognition of Iran’s enrichment right,” he stressed.

On Wednesday, another Iranian lawmaker reiterated Tehran’s skepticism of world powers and said the West must take confidence building measures before the Islamic Republic ratifies the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
