Iran's top nuclear negotiator Mohammad Javad Zarif said at the end of the 1st day of talks with 6 world powers that the ground is paved now for beginning to draft the text of an agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group.

"It was necessary that the members of the P5+1 group would hold some talks with Mrs. Ashton and coordinate with each other," said Zarif, who was speaking with the press in his hotel in Geneva, according to the IRNA-dispatched reporters .

The Iranian top negotiator added, "Today's talks, as my colleagues have reported, were very positive and paved the ground for entering the phase of drafting a text (of an agreement) which is a tough part of the job; the details need to be harmonized for further progress."

A reporter said that some media have reported that the agreement might be signed by this weekend. Zarif replied, "We might come up with a joint communiqué, or something like that. Whether we will need to sign that, or issues of that nature are matters of different concerns, but achieving mutual understanding on the issue is possible."

A reporter asked about the time of Foreign Minister Zarif`s Friday meeting with Mrs. Ashton. Zarif said, "Arrangements are being made, but now the P5+1 group countries need to harmonize their stances so that when we meet later they would be ready to begin drafting an agreement."

A reporter said that the US media have published reports on a six-month American plan, asking Zarif`s comment on the matter. The Iranian foreign minister said, "The drafting of this plan must begin as of tomorrow."

 "The plan`s various points have been debated during the meetings held in the course of the past three weeks and we, too, have presented our viewpoints through a PowerPoint," he added.

Zarif said that it is now time for beginning to write the text. He added, "The Americans, too, had viewpoints that they would definitely put forth in their talks with Mrs. Ashton."

Experts from Iran and three European countries (Britain, France and Germany) held an expert meeting in Geneva on Thursday afternoon to exchange views on how to move ahead to resolve the nuclear dispute.

According to IRNA reporters in Geneva, the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton decided in the morning that the Iranian representatives would hold an experts' meeting with the EU representatives in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, representatives of the United States, Russia and China held separate expert meetings with Iranian negotiators to take the first step for the settlement of the issue and draw up the final step the two parties would take to end the stalemate.

Zarif did not attend the experts' meeting and his deputy for legal and international affairs Abbas Araqchi is heading the Iranian team in the expert meeting.

That is while a top Iranian nuclear negotiator said Thursday night that drafting of the text of a nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers will begin as of tomorrow, Friday.

 "We are getting ready to begin drafting the text of an agreement, and we hope talks on it would start as of tomorrow, but their duration is unknown," Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi said in a press conference, according to an IRNA-dispatched reporter in Geneva.
