/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran rejected IAEA's proposal on sending enriched
uranium abroad for further procession.
Deputy Foreign Ministers of Russia, US, Great Britain, China, Germany
and France met Friday in Burssels to discuss Iran's Nuclear Program.
Diplomats expressed disappointment with the absence of any visible
progress towards resolving the problem.
«Iran turned down IAEA's proposals on exporting 70% of low-enriched
uranium to other states where it would be turned into fuel for a
Tehran medical research reactor,» said Robert Cooper, Assistant to
High Representative of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy
Javier Solana.
This was followed by IAEA Chair Mohammed El-Baradei's proposal on
delivering uranium to a third country, particularly Turkey, with which
Iran maintains friendly ties.
Later, however, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki confirmed
Tehran's positive attitude to IAEA's initiative on fueling Tehran's
reactor, on condition of exchanging uranium on Iranian territory, AFP
reports.
