OIC underlines Iran`s right to peaceful nuclear technology

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, March 2, IRNA -- The Organization of the Islamic Conference 
(OIC) underlines the right of the Islamic member states including Iran
to make use of peaceful nuclear technology, said the organization`s 
Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu here on Wednesday. 
"We welcome the increasing cooperation between Iran and the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," he told IRNA. 
The OIC encourages member states to sign up to the 
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and do their best to make a region free
from the weapons of mass destruction (WMD), he stressed. 
He reiterated that the OIC underlines some measures should be 
taken to provide security to those countries which do not possess WMD.
The OIC welcomes Iran`s independent decision to hold talks with 
the European countries aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to the 
nuclear case, Ihsanoglu added. 
He ruled out the use of force on Iran, saying, "All my colleagues 
and I follow up Iran-EU nuclear talks and provide any assistance to 
solve the issue."
