Majlis backs government's peaceful nuclear programs
IRNA
Tehran, June 8, IRNA -- A member of Majlis National Security and
Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Borujerdi declared here on Sunday
that MPs support state policy on peaceful nuclear programs.
Borujerdi attended a press conference after a two-hour meeting
between members of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy
Commission, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi and Director of Iran's
Atomic Energy Organization Gholam-Reza Aghazadeh.
He told reporters that in the meeting MPs voiced their backing
for the government's decisions on establishment of atomic reactors for
power generation.
"Sunday's meeting was associated with the presence of a delegation
of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
visiting Iran within the framework of the periodical inspections,
recent widespread rumors charging Iran for using nuclear energy for
non-peaceful purposes and US political pressures," he added.
The official noted that Iran's entire peaceful nuclear activities
were explained in the meeting.
"Given that Iran is one of the signatories to the international
nuclear protocols and the related technology, all its nuclear
programs are within the framework of such agreements," he added.
MP from Borujerd, referring to the need for new sources of
energy, specially the nuclear type, said that Iran is currently
relying on energies supplied by oil and gas resources.
"If we fail to use nuclear technology, the future generations
will face serious problems, given that they will be short of gas and
oil resources," he added.
Asked on Iran's decision to sign the attached protocol, he said
that it needs to be further examined by experts.
