TEHRAN, Feb 15 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, said yesterday that, the exchange of prisoners with the United States is being discussed at the nuclear talks in Vienna.
“But it seems that the United States is waiting for the outcome of the talks in Vienna, to make its decision on it,” Saeed Khatibzadeh told a weekly press conference.
Iran has not tied the issue, to the outcome of the nuclear negotiations, he said, adding, a prisoner swap was raised as a priority in parallel with other topics in Vienna, months ago.
The prisoner swap issue can be resolved through independent and separate ways, the Iranian spokesman noted.– NNN-IRNA
