Khatami says Russia judging Iran`s nuke plans on fair basis

IRNA

Tehran, Oct 18, IRNA -- President Mohammad Khatami here on Saturday 
said Russia is trying to adopt a just and fair position toward Iran`s 
nuclear activities. 
Khatami, talking to reporters upon arrival from Malaysia, said he 
had discussed issues of mutual interest with his Russian counterpart 
Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 10th Summit of the Organization
of the Islamic Conference (OIC). 
"Mr. Putin told me that he had stressed in his meetings with US 
officials that Iran`s nuclear activities are peaceful," Khatami said. 
Khatami told reporters on Thursday that he had also discussed 
Iran-Russia cooperation in the area of nuclear activities, 
particularly the completion of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in his 
meeting with Putin. 
He stressed that Iran will not give up its legitimate right to use
nuclear energy for civilian application in the face of the anti-Iran 
propaganda campaign. 
Khatami said Iran will exercise full cooperation with the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to remove the anticipated 
ambiguities. 
Khatami and Putin also reportedly discussed cooperation in the 
Caspian Sea, above all for the protection and replenishment of 
biological resources.
