Kharrazi: Tehran will continue transparent cooperation with IAEA

IRNA

New York, Sept 26, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said here 
on Thursday that Iran will continue to have "positive and transparent"
cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) but 
will not accept anything through force. 
Kharrazi told his German counterpart Joschka Fischer here on 
sidelines of the UN General Assembly`s ministerial debate on Thursday 
that the IAEA Governing Council`s recent resolution on Iran`s 
nuclear programs is politically motivated. 
He said the IAEA should be given a chance to issue its final 
judgment. 
Fischer highlighted strong importance of the role and status of 
Iran in the region and said his country attaches great significance 
to relations with Iran. 
Meanwhile, Kharrazi in separate meetings and talks with his 
Polish, Syrian and South African counterparts on sidelines of the 
General Assembly here on Thursday discussed Iran`s peaceful use of 
nuclear energy. 
Polish Foreign Minister Wiodzimierz Cimoszewicz told Kharrazi that
his country wants to Iran to share information and experience with 
it for deployment and activity of its forces in Iraq. 
Moreover, Kharrazi and his Syrian counterpart Faruq al-Shara 
held a unanimous stance that the UN should play a decisive role in 
Iraq. 
The two ministers believed that full restoration of Palestinians` 
legitimate rights would prepare the ground for establishment of 
peace. 
Kharrazi criticized the US for its continued one-sided support 
for Israel and said that Israel, provided by the backings, acts 
against Palestinians freely. 
The Iranian minister and his South African counterpart Nkosazana 
Dlamini-Zuma examined ways and means for mutual commercial and 
economic cooperation.
