Iran`s representative at IAEA leaves meeting in protest at decision

IRNA

Vienna, Sept 12, IRNA -- Islamic Republic of Iran`s representative at 
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali-Akbar Salehi on 
Friday left its Board of Governors meeting to protest to the 
decision making method applied regarding the Western-proposed 
resolution on Iran. 
Salehi told IRNA following his leaving the session "Iran is 
opposed to the method applied in decision making by the IAEA Board 
of Governors, as well as the articles included in the resolution on 
Iran`s nuclear activities." 
"By leaving the meeting, we wish that our objection would be 
formally registered at IAEA`s official documents." Salehi said. 
He appreciated the Non-Aligned Movement countries, "That quite 
positively proposed over 10 amendments to the resolution proposed by 
Western countries." 
The Western countries, particularly the United States and 
England, have been lobbying with the high ranking officials of the 
members of the IAEA`s Board of Governors, trying to convince them not 
to object to their proposed resolution on Iran. 
In the said resolution Iran is asked to grant full permission to 
IAEA experts to have access to all its atomic sites at all times 
unexpectedly, and to take samples freely. 
Iran is meanwhile asked to end all activities aimed at enrichment 
of uranium, and sign the IAEA`s additional protocol immediately and 
unconditionally maximum by October 31.
