Khatami terms IAEA`s resolution as unfair

IRNA

Putrajaya, Oct 17, IRNA -- President Mohammad Khatami here on Friday 
termed the International Atomic Energy Agency`s resolution against 
Iran`s nuclear activities as unfair. 
Speaking in a press conference on the sidelines of the OIC Summit,
President Khatami stressed that Iran has repeatedly announced that the
resolution is unfair and unjust. 
The Islamic Republic has not yet adopted any decision to stop or 
decrease cooperation with the IAEA in spite of the technical and 
legal defects of the resolution. 
Referring to desirable talks recently held between Head of the 
IAEA Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian officials, Khatami stressed on 
continuation of cooperation between the two sides. 
He further described as "very dangerous" development and 
proliferation of weapons of mass destructions and nuclear weapons, 
adding that the Islamic Republic has always stressed on clearing the 
region and the world from such weapons. 
The IAEA Board of Governors last month set October 31 as deadline 
for Iran to prove it is pursuing peaceful nuclear programs. 
The resolution that was submitted by Canada, Japan and Australia 
also calls on Tehran to clarify its nuclear program by the end of 
October and to suspend its uranium enrichment program.
