Iran-Nuclear-Talks
Iran's Representative to the UN nuclear watchdog Ali-Asghar Soltanieh said here Monday that talks on Iran's nuclear activities are still continuing in Vienna.
He told IRNA that Iran submitted its proposal to the EU3 and Russia and is now awaiting their response.
Speaking on the sidelines of the first seasonal meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he added that Iran can show no flexibility on its 'nuclear research', given that any country whose scholars have the capability to conduct research is entitled to such a right.
"Meanwhile, since the former resolution was approved on account of Iran's nuclear research it is impossible to suspend research and development in the field.
"We shall continue both nuclear research and development. However, concerning the other discussed issues, we shall cooperate closely to prove that our nuclear activities are peaceful."
The IAEA seasonal meeting opened in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Monday.
The 11-page report of the agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei was on the agenda of the session.
