Russian FM expresses satisfaction over IAEA resolution on Iran

IRNA

Moscow, 26 nov, IRNA - Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov in Warsaw 
on Wednesday expressed satisfaction with a resolution on Iran adopted 
today at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. 
He said, "We are not satisfied with all the parts of the 
resolution, but the main thing is that we were able to keep this issue
under examination at the IAEA without it being sent to the UN Security
Council as some countries wanted." 
The IAEA resolution adopted Wednesday on Iran`s nuclear program 
was the result of a "complex compromise", said Ivanov in Warsaw where 
he arrived Wednesday on an one-day visit to discuss bilateral 
cooperation after Poland joins the European Union in May. 
Ivanov said the issue of Iran nuclear program would have gotten 
compounded if it had been sent to the UN Security Council. 
He said the IAEA resolution would provide favorable ground for 
the IAEA-Tehran cooperation. 
He expressed hope that Iran-IAEA would continue cooperation. 
The IAEA wrapped up its Wednesday session by adopting a resolution on 
Iran`s nuclear activities. 
The board convened both on Thursday and Friday to study Iran`s 
nuclear case, succeeding to reach a consensus on a resolution on Iran 
on Wednesday after lengthy debate and investigation of different 
drafts. 
The resolution, drafted by three European Union states, does not 
refer to Iran`s non-compliance with safeguards agreement or reference 
of the case to the UN Security Council.
