Director of Russia's Center of Strategic Studies on Wednesday referred to Iran-Russia talks in Moscow as successful and said that the two countries need more time to reach an agreement.
Speaking to Al-Arabia news channel on Russia's proposal to Iran on uranium enrichment in its territory, he added that the Iranian officials believe that their experts should participate in the process to get acquainted with the enrichment technology.
"The nuclear talks will continue in Tehran towards the end of February and will be attended by the Russian minister of nuclear energy.
"If an agreement is reached on full details of Russia's proposed project in the upcoming meeting in Tehran, Iran's nuclear dossier will remain on the agenda of the UN nuclear watchdog rather than being reported to the United Nations Security Council," concluded the Russian official.
Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Atomic Energy Agency, Sergei Kiriyenko is scheduled to arrive in Tehran on February 23 to continue the nuclear talks with the Iranian officials.
