Talks are the only possible way to solve the Iranian nuclear problem, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. \"Russia, China and the United States, jointly with the European Troika, have been working on proposals that would lead to a political, diplomatic way out of the situation surrounding the Iranian nuclear program. Qatar, I know, supports these efforts,\" Lavrov said at a news conference in Doha on Tuesday.

In comments on criticism leveled at Russia, China and Qatar by the Israeli ambassador to the UN, the minister said, \"It\'s strange that these three countries have been lumped together by some as opponents of the general consensus. On the contrary, we are among the most active supporters of talks, because there cannot be any other option except talks,\" said Lavrov. (Interfax)
