He made the remarks in the Iranian northern city of Rasht when addressing a crowd.

However, he said, the talks should aim at recognizing the nuclear rights of Iran and other nations.

The condition for the "good results" to be achieved from the future talks is that the world powers should be committed to "law, justice and respect," added Ahmadinejad.

Six world powers, namely the five permanent members of the UN Security Council including the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France, plus Germany, wrapped up nuclear talks with Iran without any progress in Turkey on Saturday.

Iran did not expect the issues over its nuclear program could be settled in four or five sessions, said Iranian president.

He also pointed out that Iran is ready for cooperation with the powers, adding that it is better for the West since Iran has achieved the nuclear technology and nothing can force it back on its path forward.
