"About this issue (two Germans detained in Iran), some members of the German parliament have made contact and it was explained to them that this case has a legal path that must be accomplished. You should note that they came here as journalists but did something other than journalism and broke the rules of journalism. However, we advised that the case be followed up faster."

7. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Ali Larijani, Speaker and Chairman of the Iranian Parliament:
"If the other party (the five permanent UN Security Council Members Britain, China, Russia, France and the US, plus Germany) view the negotiations like a tool, it will disrupt the trust. They have created mistrust several times before. We hope they will look at the issue more wisely this time. It is positive that they raised some general topics in these talks and put off elaboration on details for the next negotiations. It means they should go ahead like this."

9. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Ali Larijani, Speaker and Chairman of the Iranian Parliament:
"There could be many common points in the talks such as the issue of (nuclear) disarmament which is important and has brought concern and panic to the international scene and Iran has always taken a firm stance toward that. We could talk about this. When they sometimes say that we have concerns over Iran's behaviour, this is a general concern. We have clearly declared that the nuclear weapons are religiously forbidden. You should remove Iran's concerns."
10. Reporters at presser
11. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Ali Larijani, Speaker and Chairman of the Iranian Parliament:
"The disclosed information (by WikiLeaks) contain both true and false information. But it is important that the Americans be responsive about them. Americans must explain what they have done. Did they send their agents to different countries to pursue diplomacy or to do other things, some of which have been published. Some other countries should also respond (about what they have done which has been disclosed by Wikileaks)."

STORYLINE:
Iran's Parliament Speaker confirmed on Saturday that German politicians had pleaded with their Iranian counterparts for two detained German journalists be freed.
Two German citizens were arrested in October in the northeastern city of Tabriz while interviewing the son of Sakineh Ashtiani, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning on charges of adultery and murder of her husband.
Ali Larijani, the Iranian Parliament Speaker, said during a news briefing on Saturday that he told the German politicians the case "has a legal path that must be accomplished".
He did not name the politicians.
"You should note that they came here as journalists but did something other than journalism and broke the rules of journalism," Larijani said.
He said he assured Germany he would try to ensure the case was "followed up faster".
