Iran-Nuclear-Haddad-Adel
Nuclear dossier is merely a pretext for exerting pressures on Iran by the US, said Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel here on Tuesday.
Haddad-Adel told Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Yuri Volkov that Iran's peaceful nuclear technology poses no danger to regional and global security.
He said the US does not at all favor an independent Iran in the region.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Haddad-Adel hoped that eventual steps will be taken for making Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant operational and Iranian nation will soon witness the power plant joining the nationwide power network.
He criticized the European press for their recent desecration of Islamic sanctities, saying, "West is charging Muslims of terrorism while desecration of Islamic sanctities has provoked Muslims' wrath." He said the Central Asia, the Caspian Sea, Afghanistan, Chechnya and Iraq are areas in which Iran and Russia can have regional cooperation.
"Enemies of Russia and Iran can not derail the friendly and strategic ties between the two countries," the speaker mentioned.
Volkov for his part said all political wings and officials in Russia are unanimous in expansion of friendly ties with Iran.
He said Moscow supports Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.
"Russian Duma will try its utmost to make Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant operational based on schedule," he added.
He said desecration of sanctities is by no means either justified or acceptable.
