Rouhani Says Nuclear Deal Will Open 'New Page' in Relations
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said Friday a nuclear deal with world powers would open a "new page" for the country's international relations and lead to "constructive interaction."
In a live televised address, Rouhani also said a final agreement would depend on both sides living up to their commitments.
"If the other side honors its promises, we will honor our promises," he said, a day after Iran and the P5+1 group of nations led by the United States clinched a tentative framework for a nuclear deal.
With a June 30 deadline and hard details about the lifting of sanctions standing in the way of a historic accord between Iran and the West, Rouhani sought to shore up support for the possible deal.
"In the framework that we have before us we can see that this government's approach was effective.
"New cooperation with the world -- both in the nuclear sphere and other areas -- will open a new page" for Iran, he said.
"Some think we should either fight with the world or give in to the global powers," Rouhani said, calling instead of a "third way" of engaging internationally.

Followers of Ebola and Iran : you must start by applauding Amrika, your new ally.
.....you need not to think : shut your mouth, follow and applaud....
Of course he can be happy. He won everything and gave almost nothing, stood firm and was given a price for that at the end.
The Obama administration capitulated totally. They are cowards with a narrow-sighted policy, they betrayed both the West and the Arabs.
