TEHRAN - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Monday that “excessive demands” by some powers at nuclear talks will be detrimental to the negotiations, media reported.

“At the recent Geneva talks, good progress was made, but everyone must realize that excessive demands could complicate the process towards a win-win agreement,” Rouhani said in a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

“From our point of view, there should not be a situation in which the will of parties to reach mutually acceptable agreement is affected,” Rouhani was quoted as saying. The Iranian president did not expand on the “excessive demands, “ but western media reported on Monday that French President Francois Hollande has put forward some major demands to Iran ahead of nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 — the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany — set to begin on Wednesday.(Xinhua)
