Iran, Russia don`t disagree in atomic energy cooperation

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 1, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Iran and Russia do not have 
major differences in the atomic energy cooperation, spokesman for the 
Iranian Foreign Ministry Hamid Reza Asefi said on Sunday, referring to
the forthcoming visit of Russian Atomic Energy Minister Alexander 
Rumyantsev to Teheran. 
"I do not know exactly the agenda of the future negotiations, but 
I can assure you that Iran and Russia do not have major differences in
this respect," Asefi said. 
They only have to settle some technical problems in the 
construction of the nuclear power plant in Bushehr, "mostly the return
of spent nuclear fuel to Russia," he said. 
As for the statement of Paul Bremer, the Administrator of the 
Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, that Al-Qaeda gunmen are 
penetrating into Iraq from Iran, Asefi said, the Iranian authorities 
are controlling the national borders and do not allow anyone to cross 
the border illegally. 
"If we arrest members of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, they
will be prosecuted in this country in line with the law," he said.
