Iran, Russia likely to discuss Tehran's nuclear issue
20:46 - 02.08.11
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday that
Iran and Russia will possibly discuss Iran's nuclear issue in the
upcoming visit of a senior Russian official to Tehran, the local
satellite Press TV reported.
In the upcoming visit to Tehran by Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of
Russian National Security Council, "Various issues including bilateral
ties and regional developments will be discussed," Mehmanparast was
quoted as saying by the Xinhua new agency as saying.
Iran's "peaceful" nuclear program will possibly be discussed with the
Russian official too, said the spokesman.
On Tuesday, Press TV reported that Patrushev will visit Tehran on August 15.
The Iran spokesman emphasized Tehran's determination to pursue its
civilian nuclear activities that are "carried out based on mutual
commitments between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA)," said the report.
In July, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called for "phased"
approach to resolve Iran's nuclear standoff whereby Iran would address
international concerns and the questions raised by the International
Atomic Energy Agency about its nuclear activities in a staged schedule
and in return economic sanctions imposed on Iran would be removed in a
staged manner over time.
On Tuesday, Mehmanparast said that the Islamic Republic is currently
receiving the details of Russia's "phased" approach proposal and
Iranian officials are negotiating the plan.
