IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Vienna, Sept 13, IRNA -- Spokesman of the Iranian delegation to the sixth session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran, Hossein Moussavian here Monday rejected some media reports on Parchin site southwest of Tehran. In an exclusive interview with IRNA held before the inaugural session of the Board of Governors, Moussavian stressed that the IAEA has not yet called for a visit to the Iranian site of Parchin near Tehran. Iran`s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said on Sunday that the IAEA request to visit one of Iran`s main military sites, Parchin, had only been the subject of "preliminary discussions" after diplomats in Vienna said Iran was holding out on allowing inspector access to the site. Parchin, 30 kms (18 miles) southwest of Tehran, is a site for a variety of defense projects. 1422/1420
