Russian deputy FM urges peaceful solution to Iran`s nuclear case

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Moscow, Sept 7, IRNA -- Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs 
Yuri Fedotov here Friday reiterated the need to settle the case on 
Iran`s nuclear activities peacefully. 
He told IRNA that the US allegations and military threats against 
Iran are unacceptable. 
"According to Russia`s policy towards Iran, the country`s nuclear 
issue should only be solved in Vienna and within the framework of the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," he added. 
Turning to the ongoing talks on Iran`s nuclear program by the 
IAEA Board of Governors, he said: "Russia favors settlement of the 
issue in such a way as will lead neither to a crisis nor to any 
disruption of ties in the region." 
Fedotov pointed to the prospect of sending Iran`s nuclear dossier 
to the UN Security Council as "irrational." 
He said that the agency should use its powers to the fullest to 
settle the problem.
