Russia supports Iran`s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Moscow, Feb 25, IRNA -- Russia supports Iran`s right to peaceful use 
of nuclear energy, and intends to continue cooperation with it in this
field, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko stated on 
Wednesday. 
"Russia will meet it commitments regarding the construction of the
nuclear power plant in Bushehr in full measure," Itar-Tass 
quoted Yakovenko as saying. 
"Russia controls the working process at the nuclear power plant; 
it does everything possible to expedite the putting of the facility on
line," the diplomat said. 
Responding to a question by IRNA, he noted that Moscow welcomed 
Iran`s signing the additional protocol to the agreement on guarantees 
with the International Atomic Energy Agency. 
"We regard this step by the Iranian leadership as evidence of 
Tehran`s mood to consistently move towards ensuring full transparency 
of its nuclear program," Yakovenko added. 
He expressed confidence that the signing of this document and its 
immediate use in practice `will contribute to the soonest clearing up 
of all the outstanding questions to Tehran in connection with its 
nuclear program`.
