The European Union�s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said she sees her main task in facilitating international negotiations on Iran�s controversial nuclear program.


MOSCOW (Sputnik)�� The foreign policy chief spoke to�journalists ahead of�a meeting with�Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. On Wednesday, she is set to�hold talks with�US Secretary of�State John Kerry.

�I see it as�my main task to�make sure that the negotiations proceed in�a speedy and good way. Good way means that Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon and can have its right to�deploy a peaceful program as�everybody else,� Mogherini told reporters in�New York on�Tuesday.The politician stated that she understands the concerns of�many countries regarding Iran, adding, however, that it would be �naive to�imagine that a country like�Iran could simply disappear from�the map.�

The best possible approach to�the situation is to�ensure a positive outcome of�the nuclear talks and call for�Tehran to�play a major, but�positive role in�the region, particularly in�war-torn Syria, Mogherini said.Over the past�years, the P5+1 group of�international negotiators, comprising the UN Security Council�s five permanent members plus Germany, has engaged in�negotiations with�Iran on�the Islamic Republic's controversial nuclear activities.

A framework agreement on�Iran�s nuclear program was reached in�early April.
