Iran, Russia cooperate in atomic energy: ambassador

IRNA

Moscow, Sept 20, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Iran and Russia are 
developing the atomic energy cooperation, Iranian Ambassador to 
Russia Gholam-Reza Shafei said on Friday. 
"The cooperation has always been under the IAEA control," he said 
at the second international conference on the Non-Proliferation of 
Weapons of Mass Destruction which is currently underway in Moscow. 
"Iran has been cooperating with the IAEA beyond commitments 
within the past few months, and it will develop the cooperation in 
line with international norms," the diplomat said. 
Iran, being guided with the Islamic belief, thinks that weapons 
of mass destruction are "inhuman and illegal," the ambassador said. 
Thus the Iranian defense doctrine does not include weapons of the 
sort. 
Iran, a signatory to the Convention on the Non-Proliferation of 
Biological, Nuclear and Chemical Weapons and a country that has been 
affected by chemical weapons, is actively cooperating with related 
international organizations and institutions, Shafei said.
