Member of Parliament from Zanjan, Rafat Bayat, here Saturday said that the anti-Iran Resolution 1737 which was approved by the United Nations Security Council on December 23, is illegal.
He told IRNA that Iran's peaceful nuclear activities are within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) laws and that Iran has not violated them.
"Iran has fully cooperated with the agency and has taken confidence building measures. Besides, its nuclear activities were suspended voluntarily for a while," he added.
The MP urged that the so-called 5+1 group should officially recognize Iran's legitimate right to access nuclear technology and dismissed their discriminatory approach towards Iran as compared to other NPT members.
"This is while the racist Israeli regime which is not a member of any disarmament convention and does not even accept the NPT, Safeguard Agreement and Additional Agreement, declares that it possesses nuclear weapons.
"Besides, members of the 5+1 group do not show any reaction to the Zionist regime's admittance about possession of nuclear weapons, but assist Israel to be equipped with weapons of mass destruction," he added.
He underlined that Iran will continue its nuclear activities within the framework of the agency's regulations and that the government will not give up defending national interests.
Bayat stressed that MPs urge the government to expedite the country's peaceful atomic programs and continue cooperating with the IAEA to secure the national interests.
"The countries whose revenues are based on the sale of military equipment and drugs are real violators of international treaties.
"Given these states access to the most advanced nuclear technologies, they attempt to deprive others of such technologies to supply them with atomic fuel in future," he added.
