TEHRAN (Tasnim) � An Iranian legislator said on Saturday that a visit to Iran by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has not become certain yet, describing the possible trip as a tactic to change Iran�s trend in the nuclear talks with world powers.

�The French officials seem to be evaluating whether to make the trip happen or not,� Abdolvahid Fayyazi, vice chairman of Iran-France parliamentary friendship group, said on Saturday.

He argued that such visits to Iran by the Western officials is meant to influence Tehran�s approach toward the nuclear talks with the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

�In its diplomacy, France takes on contradictory roles that are sometimes against Iran�s policies. We hope that in case that country�s foreign minister visits Tehran, their policies would become aligned with Iran a bit,� the lawmaker told ICANA.

His comments came after French weekly Actualite Juive reported that the Paris government is ready to send a minister to Iran if a nuclear agreement is reached, according to ICANA.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) are negotiating to hammer out a lasting accord that would end more than a decade of impasse over Tehran's civilian nuclear program.

On April 2, the two sides reached a framework nuclear agreement in Lausanne, Switzerland, with both sides committed to push for a final deal until the end of June.
