The package encompasses proposals on Iran's nuclear program as wellas other international issues, said the report. It envisaged a step-by-step approach to resolve the dispute overIran's nuclear program and the practical steps that the westerngovernments should take in parallel, according to IRNA. Iran's demand of "swift, explicit" response from world powers wasraised during a meeting on Wednesday afternoon between Iran'sdeputy nuclear negotiator Ali Baqeri and EU deputy foreign policychief Helga Schmid, said Fars. At the meeting, both sides reviewed the Iranian package ofproposals and Baqeri called for the world powers' swift andexplicit response to Tehran's proposals, according to the report. Representatives of P5+1 are expected to put forward their views onIran's proposals on another round of meeting on Thursday. The six world powers also offered proposals, but they presentedtheir package verbally, said IRNA's report without elaborating. On Wednesday, Iran denied the reports saying that the world powerssubmitted a proposal to Iran to reduce uranium enrichment duringBaghdad nuclear talks. "Any proposal to reduce uranium enrichment from 20 percent to 5percent and in return to ease sanctions imposed on Iran, has notbeen presented by the world powers," Talib Mahdi, a member of theIranian delegation, told Xinhua on the sidelines of Baghdadmeeting. "Such proposal could be accepted by Iran because it would be aclear international recognition that Iran has the right to obtainnuclear energy," Mahdi said. Earlier in the day, Michael Mann, spokesman of EU foreign policychief Catherine Ashton, told reporters that "We have presented aproposal to Iran stating that Iran reduces its uranium enrichmentfrom 20 percent to 5 percent in return for easing sanctions." In the afternoon, representatives from Iran and the P5+1, inaddition to the EU, kicked off crunch talks aimed at defusing thelong-running escalating crisis over Tehran's nuclear program. The meeting was held in one of the palaces in the presidentialcomplex in the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad thathouses the Iraqi government offices and some foreign embassies. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday that Russiabelieved Iran has been ready to coordinate its actions over itsnuclear program. Lavrov said Moscow expected the Baghdad meeting to elaborate " thealgorithm of the further joint work" and practical steps toresolving the Iranian nuclear problem. "This will be the process we would like to see the particularresults at every step: Iran makes a step toward the requirements ofthe international community, the international community makes thesteps which ease sanction pressure on Iran," the diplomat said. Lavrov said this process must continue until "we reach the pointwhere it is clear for everybody the Iranian nuclear program has nomilitary dimension." Russia opposed the U.S. unilateral sanctions against Iran and sawthem as "absolutely unacceptable," Lavrov said. On Wednesday, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator held separate talkswith China's representative and with Ashton to discuss Iran' spackage of proposals.
