Iran not to give up right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes: Speaker

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Mashhad, Razavi Khorassan Prov, Feb 9, IRNA -- Majlis Speaker Gholam 
Ali Haddad Adel on Wednesday reiterated that the Islamic Republic of 
Iran will by no means give up its legitimate right to develop nuclear 
energy for peaceful purposes. 
Addressing a large group of local people of the city of Qouchan, 
in this northeastern province, he said that the Supreme Leader, the 
government, the parliament and even the people have repeatedly 
announced that Iran was not after development of nuclear weapons. 
On Iran`s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA), Haddad Adel said Tehran has repeatedly proved its 
good intentions aimed at confidence building to the agency. 
The IAEA inspectors have time and again inspected Iran`s nuclear 
installations, he added. 
"If today we hear incorrect remarks by the European officials on 
Iran`s peaceful nuclear activities, it is because they want to 
deny the Iranian people access to peaceful nuclear technology," the 
Majlis speaker said. 
"If the Europeans want to deprive us of progress in the field 
of peaceful nuclear technology under cover of negotiations, the 
Iranian nation will not surrender to their pressures," he noted.
