TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian renewed
his country's opposition to use of force against Iran over its nuclear
program, and reiterated that negotiation is the best means to resolve
Iran's nuclear issue.
"Yerevan has time and again emphasized [the] need for solving Iran's
nuclear issue through dialogue at [the] international society,"
Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with his Russian
counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Monday.
"Our position remains unchanged. Iran is our neighbor country, and
we are interested in excluding the use of force or ways other than
negotiations for the settlement of the issue," he added.
In March, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Tehran's
permanent preparedness to hold negotiations with the West under an
atmosphere of logic.
"If you have any logical words, come and say," Ahmadinejad said,
and continued, "The Iranian nation accepts logical words but if you
bring hundreds of other warships (to the region), these people will
not bow before you."
Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium
enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council
sanctions for turning down West's calls to give up its right of
uranium enrichment.
Tehran has dismissed West's demands as politically tainted and
illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate
Iranians' national resolve to continue the path.
Political observers believe that the United States has remained at
loggerheads with Iran mainly over the independent and home-grown nature
of Tehran's nuclear technology, which gives the Islamic Republic the
potential to turn into a world power and a role model for the other
third-world countries.
