ElBaradei stresses Iran`s right for peaceful nuclear program

IRNA

Berlin, Oct 31, IRNA -- Head of the International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) Mohammad ElBaradei once again stressed Iran`s right to 
have a peaceful nuclear program. 
"According to the non-proliferation treaty (NPT), every country 
has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. This 
applies also to Iran," ElBaradei said in an interview with the daily 
`Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung`. 
He welcomed readiness of the European countries to provide Iran 
with modern nuclear technology, after Teheran has fulfilled Europe`s 
nuclear security guarantees. 
"Frankly speaking, I believe this is probably in the long-term 
the right way. We also have elsewhere security guarantees that nuclear
programs serve only peaceful purposes," ElBaradei added. 
Tehran has consented to a voluntary suspension of its uranium 
enrichment program and sign the additional nuclear safeguards 
protocol, while in exchange Europe agreed to provide Iran with modern 
civilian nuclear technology.
