Austria: Nuclear talks likely entering final stage - French FM Fabius

The P5+1 group and Iran have likely entered the final stage of talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in Vienna on Sunday. "I hope that we have finally reached the last phase of this marathon negotiation," Fabius told journalists as he arrived at the Palais Coburg hotel in the Austrian capital. Fabius said that France has been "firm and constructive" in its approach to the current talks, which have lasted for over two weeks. "You know the line which France took, it is a line of firm constructiveness and I hope it will help us now to quickly reach a satisfactory result," Fabius said. Fabius also said he will meet later Sunday with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general.
