    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said that
    Iran's first nuclear power plant is due to come online this summer.

    Putin made his remarks at a meeting on nuclear-industry matters today
    in the southern Russian city of Volgodonsk, RFE/RL reported.

    Russia has been helping Iran build the facility near the southern
    Iranian city of Bushehr since the mid-1990s, but its launch has been
    slowed by several delay

    US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a visit to Moscow on Thursday
    warned Russia against launching the plant until Tehran proves that
    it's not pursuing atomic weapons.

    "If it reassures the world, or if its behavior is changed because of
    international sanctions, then they can pursue peaceful, civil nuclear
    power. In the absence of those reassurances, we think it would be
    premature to go forward with any project at this time, because we want
    to send an unequivocal message to the Iranians," she said at a briefing
    following her talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
