Cooperation with IAEA on agenda, Salehi says
IRNA
Tehran, Oct 7, IRNA -- Iranian Representative to the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali Akbar Salehi here on Tuesday said that
cooperation with the UN agency is on the agenda.
Speaking in the conference on "Iran and Atomic Energy" in Sharif
Industrial University, he said the Islamic Republic of Iran has
decided to cooperate with the IAEA and reach a settlement with the UN
watchdog.
Iran is for peaceful application of atomic energy and at the same
time determined to remove the artificial crisis over the national
program, Salehi said.
Iran is not for nuclear arms, he said adding that Iran regards as
`absolutely illogical` the idea that nuclear weapon is `deterrent` to
threats.
Asked whether or not signing the additional protocol to the NPT
will end anti-Iran propaganda campaign, he said the controversy over
Iranian national program to generate electricity from nuclear energy
is being raised for political objectives, so, signing or not signing
the additional protocol will make no difference.
The US raises the controversy over Iranian nuclear program in a
series of attempts to orchestrate a consensus against the Islamic
Republic of Iran, he said.
He called the recent negotiations with the IAEA officials as
satisfactory and expressed the hope that the talks would bear fruits
within coming weeks.
