EEU treaty signing has positive affect on Iran-West relations, view

According to him, on the eve of the fifth round of talks of Iran and six powers President of Iran Hassan Rouhani inspired the observers by His optimistic statements. In Vienna the parties reached an agreement in principle and its result may be regarded as the point of no return in the negotiation process. However, as he stated, the sides have quite fairly wide differences on a wide range of issues that will be yet discussed. For example, it concerns limitation on amount of centrifuges, extent and procedure of lifting of sanctions, and IAEA confidence, etc. In the expert's view, positions of the western negotiators could have softened due to the latest world developments, including signing of the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty this May 29 in Astana."It frightened the West. It is the first signs of forming some alliance that may undermine the US attitudes and give rise to beginning of destruction of unipolarity in the world. The West fears that other players may join this union. The primary hazard is possible accession of Iran to his union," he added. "To stop this process, involve and encourage the Iranian foreign policy vector, the West initiates a package of measures to build cooperation with Iran," he resumed. "If Iran takes part in the EEU then this structure will gain significant benefits that will set the tone of the world economic development. If sanctions are lifted, the western investments may entice Iran away the Eurasian project, an in any case Iran will keep on developing relations with Russia and Kazakhstan."
