TEHRAN, July 25 (Xinhua) — Nuclear talks between Iran and the European "troika" of Germany, France and Britain began in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Friday morning, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.

The Iranian delegation is headed by Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi and Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told the official IRNA news agency that the talks would be an opportunity for the three European countries to correct their attitude toward Iran and test their approach to the country's nuclear program.

Speaking earlier at a weekly press conference, Baghaei said the talks would focus on lifting sanctions and issues related to Tehran's peaceful nuclear program, noting that Iran would seriously present its demands at the upcoming meeting.

Since September last year, Iran and the EU three have held six rounds of talks on a range of issues, including Tehran's nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. The latest round took place in Istanbul in mid-May. –0–
