MOSCOW, Feb. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Russia's uranium enrichment proposal to Iran is
still on the negotiating table, the head of Russia's Atomic Energy Agency said
on Saturday.
Moscow's offer to enrich uranium for Iran on Russian territory "certainly
remains on the table," Sergei Kiriyenko, quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency,
said in Tehran after talks with Gholamreza Aghazadeh, head of Iran's Atomic
Energy Organization.
"We have a sufficient number of experts in order to answer all questions
from the Iranian partners," Kiriyenko said.
Russia and Iran held two days of talks on the proposal earlier this week in the
Russian capital. A top Iranian negotiator labeled the Moscow talks as
"constructive and positive" and said certain elements of the discussion gave
hope that an agreement may be reached.
The Russian plan is seen as a crucial attempt to resolve the dispute over
Iran's nuclear program before the March 6 meeting of the International Atomic
Energy Agency, which reports say could start a process leading to UN punishment
for Iran. Enditem |
