Lavrov describes RF-Iran nuke cooperation as transparent

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Luxembourg, Feb 28, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Russian Foreign Minister 
Sergei Lavrov has described Russian-Iranian nuclear cooperation as 
transparent. 
Summing up the results of his talks with the EU leading troika on 
Monday, Lavrov said Russia `maintains good cooperation with the EU 
troika to confirm the peaceful nature of Iran`s nuclear program`. 
Russian-Iranian nuclear cooperation is transparent and responds to
the IAEA standards, the Russian minister stressed. 
In his words, Russia `lauds US President George W. Bush`s 
statement on the peaceful settlement of the situation in Iran`. 
"The European Commission knows well that Russian-Iranian nuclear 
cooperation is transparent and is supervised by the IAEA." 
Commenting on a US senator`s proposal to exclude Russia from the 
G-8 due to its nuclear cooperation with Iran, Lavrov pointed out, 
"This is an individual view. We know that this is not a position of 
the US Administration."
