Zitat:Shingarev: Moscow abides by its nuclear commitments towards Tehran
Moscow, April 1, IRNA -- Russian Nuclear Energy Organization announced
on Thursday that Moscow adheres to its commitments towards Tehran in
completing the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project.
Asked to comment on the US congress` call on Moscow to stop
nuclear cooperation with Tehran, the Organization spokesman Nikolai
Shingarev said that considering its political nature, any comment on
or interpretation of the issue rest with Russian foreign affairs
ministry.
"I for one and on behalf of Russian Federation`s Nuclear Energy
Organization, should emphasize that we abide by our international
commitments," said Shingarev.
Shingarev said that only certain political decisions may reverse
the process. He said the decisions, however, need to be backed by
certain solid proofs in order to be taken into consideration.
He quoted Russian Nuclear Energy Organization Chief Alexander
Rumyantsev as saying that there had been no proof or evidence at hand
to substantiate Iran attempts to produce nuclear arms.
Shingarev reiterated that there is no reliable evidence available
to point Iran`s nuclear program is for military purposes.
