Iran-Nuclear-Mottaki
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Thursday that recognition of Iran's right for peaceful nuclear energy and the mechanisms for restoration of the right is one of the two key elements necessary for comprehensive settlement of Iran's nuclear case.
Talking to IRNA on the sidelines of the UN Conference on Small Arms trade, Mottaki said further strengthening of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is another element influential in comprehensive settlement of the issue.
Mottaki said any understanding in that connection would relieve concerns of one of the parties, while securing restoration of the rights of the other party.
He said the European package of incentives should contain necessary elements in order to reach a full-fledged understanding.
He noted that there are some ambiguities in the P5+1 package, but declined to cite them. He said Iran is morally forbidden to mention them but will publicize them at an appropriate time.
He went on to say that however, Iran has informed the EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana of certain points and he too admitted that the questions were important in their kind which should be addressed in the Iran-EU talks.
Mottaki wound up his three-day New York visit and left for Banjul, Gambia, late Thursday to join entourage of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is already there to attend the seventh African Union summit (July 1-2).
