Iran will stop enrichment if not necessary: Haddad Adel

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA -- Majlis Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel here 
Sunday stressed that Iran would continue uranium enrichment if deemed 
it as necessary and will stop it if was not necessary. 
Talking to reporters on the recent resolution adopted by the 
International Atomic Energy Agency`s Board of Governors, he said an 
order on suspending uranium enrichment runs counter to the agency`s 
articles of association. 
"As representatives of Britain, France and Germany announced, 
this will not impose any obligation on Iran to suspend uranium 
enrichment. 
"What is important for Iran, is safeguarding the national 
interests. The IAEA cannot oblige a country to do something against 
its articles of association," he said. 
Pointing to the performance of the three European states in the 
Board of Governors, he added any action bears its reaction and we 
have complaint about the Europeans` behaviour. 
Asked about a statement which MPs are to issue Sunday on the Board
of Governors` resolution, the speaker noted that the statement is the 
viewpoints of deputies and not the official stance of the Majlis. 
He assessed as positive the role of the Iranian delegation to the 
Board of Governors, saying the measures adopted by Iran`s 
representatives lowered the pressures. 
Referring to a possible joint meeting between the Majlis and 
cabinet, Haddad Adel said, "It is necessary that the Majlis holds a 
meeting with the government. 
"People are quite informed and will not accept any order which is 
against the country`s independence and the Islamic Revolution. 
"This resolution inflicts no damage to the people," he stressed.
