TEHRAN - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday
that IAEA inspectors have never traced any breaching of the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty in their intensive and ceaseless inspections
of Iranian nuclear sites, Al-Manar reported on Tuesday.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart
Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan, Lavrov added, "Even right now the
International Atomic Energy Agency's inspectors are stationed at Iran's
entire nuclear centers monitoring the Iranians' entire activities
round the clock."
The top Russian diplomat meanwhile asked the UN nuclear watchdog to
dispatch yet more of its inspectors to Iran to further scrutinize
the matter painstakingly.
Lavrov said, "Maintaining the presence of that international atomic
body's inspectors in Iran and further strengthening their presence
there is of fundamental importance today."
The Russian foreign minister announced his country's strong opposition
to any type of preemptive attack against Iran, saying, "Such attacks
are in direct (violation of) the UN Charter."
He added, "There is no military solution to Iran's nuclear issue."
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Russian foreign minister announced his
country's opposition to the unilateral sanctions by the U.S. and the
EU against Iran.
