Putin says Iran`s nuclear dossier should be closed

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Brussels, Nov 25, IRNA -- Russian President Vladimir Putin called 
Thursday for the closing of the Iranian dossier at the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and underlined Moscow`s continued support 
for the Islamic Republic`s peaceful nuclear programme. 
"We believe that a great progress has been achieved regarding 
removing the Iranian dossier and we will be negotiating with Iran on 
bilateral basis," Putin told a press conference in the Hague at the 
end of an EU-Russian summit Thursday afternoon. 
"We will be supporting them in developing nuclear energy for 
peaceful purposes and when final agreements would be concluded we 
intend to further develop that cooperation," he underlined. 
Putin said "we support and welcome the statements from Iran that 
they will suspend the production of fuel." 
"Today there was another announcement of the Iranian 
representatives on that score... and I think that all these problems 
will be addressed on the experts` level," Putin said. 
The Netherlands currently holds the EU Presidency.
