Iran MPs warn P5+1 not to repeat 'past mistakes'

Iranian MPs warn they will make new decisions based on their authority if the Group of 5+1 repeats its 'past mistakes' regarding Iran's nuclear program.

A total of 239 of Iran's 290-member parliament (Majlis) issued a statement on Tuesday saying that the upcoming talks between Tehran and the P5+1 will be an important test for the group.

On October 1, Iran is expected to sit at the negotiating table with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Germany in Geneva to discuss a wide range of global issues.

The Iranian lawmakers emphasized that the upcoming talks were a historic opportunity for the group to end the deadlock over Iran's nuclear issue.

"We support the scheduled talks within Iran's package of proposals and warn the negotiating countries that this is a historic opportunity to surpass the deadlock and resolve the problem," the statement said.

Iran has stressed that although open to talks, it 'will not compromise' on its legitimate nuclear rights.
