LAUSANNE (Sputnik) — P5+1 foreign ministers concluded the second coordination meeting at the current round of Iran nuclear talks with progress on important issues, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told Sputnik on Monday.

The final deal itself is expected to be reached by the end of June.Earlier on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov left the talks in Lausanne. A source in the Russian delegation told Sputnik that the minister may return Tuesday if the P5+1 group reaches an agreement.
