Iran refuses Russian compromise on its nuclear activities - 12 march 2006 - 19:30

IRAN - Teheran demands to enrich uranium in Iran. Iran will not take into account the proposal of Russia for the enrichment of uranium on the Russian soil if it must implicate for Iran to stop any activity of enrichment on its own soil, to a spokesman of the Iranian ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Iran refuses Russian compromise on its nuclear activities

The spokesman spokesman of the ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hamid-reza Asefi, signalled « that his country liked to solve this conflict with the international community by dialogue » but he stressed the fact that Iran has to follow his clean researches in the field of the nuclear technology, of which the enrichment of uranium in a small ladder.

Asefi added that « under no pressures » the Iranian Parliament would ratify the additional protocol in Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). « We should wait to see how exchanges will evolve, including with the five permanent members of the Security Council of United Nations ». For him, it is obvious that « Iran will not abandon its right. »

To a Russian diplomatist there will not be coeducational firm of enrichment of uranium if Iran does not apply requirements of the IAEA. Russia thought yesterday that it would be impossible to create one undertaken coeducational of enrichment of uranium if Iran did not submit to requirements of the international Agency of nuclear energy (IAEA), to a representative of the Russian deputation in negotiations. « By requirements of the IAEA it is necessary to hear the return of Iran to moratorium on researches in enrichment of uranium and ratification of the additional Protocol in the Treaty on the not proliferation of the nuclear weapon », declared this interlocutor of the agency to the Russian news agency RIA NOVOSTI.

This one said that in the course of negotiations in Moscow and in Teheran it had been offered to the Iranian diplomatists to sign a document about creation in Russia of a coeducational firm, but that Russia had always wanted before to examine all questions with the IAEA. » Since Iran did not succeed in agreeing with the IAEA, Russia considers impossible the creation of the firm being discussed ». On possibility for Turkey to establish a coeducational Iran firm / Turkey, according to this diplomatist « for the experts being seriously in charge of this topic, this suggestion is of an obvious absurdity [] Turkey do not control nuclear cycle. On the other hand, if hypothétiquement the partners of Turkey within NATO delivered him the technology of enrichment of uranium, it would be in flagrant violation with Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) of the nuclear weapon, what in actual situation would be unacceptable. As a result, it does not there take place to envisage this proposal seriously »

In this diplomatic game, Iran has two master cards, that of the collection of nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and that some oil. According to the leader of Iranian diplomacy, Manouchehr Mottaki « to withdraw Us from the NPT is not in agenda ». But Teheran could envisage it in case of " extreme appeal ".

The permanent members of Council, the United States, Chine, France, Great Britain and Russia, began take up last afternoon of discussions on Friday on the crisis of Iranian nuclear technology. Council will begin debate on this question next week. After Mohamed ElBaradei, managing director of the IAEA, introduces its report, the United States claimed an immediate action of the Security Council, which could impose sanctions against Teheran.

Iran stresses the fact that its nuclear activities have only civil purposes and development of nuclear power. But the United States and other western countries expressed anxiety on this program, they think that Teheran tries to develop its researches to perfect weapon of nuclear striking.
