Iranian diplomat says "permanent suspension" not in the European draft resolution

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 23, IRNA -- An Iranian diplomat said here Tuesday that 
the term "permanent suspension" does not appear in the draft 
resolution prepared by European countries on Monday. 
The diplomat, who was talking to IRNA on condition of anonymity, 
however believes that although the words "sustained suspension" 
cannot be interpreted to mean "permanent suspension" by Iran of all 
enrichment and reprocessing activities, a reading of the entire 
paragraph would give such impression. 
Article two of the draft "calls on Iran to suspend" enrichment 
activities and underscores the Board`s understanding that a "full and 
sustained suspension" would be the confidence-building measure 
essential to resolving all outstanding issues within the framework of 
the agency. 
The draft resolution prepared by the European states was 
submitted to member states of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) on 
Monday.
