YEREVAN. – Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said his country's nuclear program is peaceful, but the opposite party must realize that sanctions are not a good option to tackle problems.

Pressure must be put aside, since “you cannot speak a language of pressure with Iran and any other nation”, Zarif said during a media conference in Yerevan.

The last round of nuclear talks was held on January 18 when the parties agreed to meet again and to continue negotiations in early February.
