TEHRAN Feb 12 – Spokesman to Islamic Republic of Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers a permit to visit Parchin subject to the consideration of Iran’s right to nuclear energy.
Speaking
in the sidelines of Kazakhstan meeting, Ramin Mehmanparast said concerning Iran’s
answer to the bilateral negotiation with America proposal "The framework has
been laid by the Supreme Leader for Iranian officials. Any claim to negotiation
is only feasible if signs of goodwill are shown beforehand. At present such
signs do not exist.”
He said that Iran’s nuclear issue is easy to solve if the other
party negotiated logically. "Our base for negotiations is the NPT and according
to that, we insured commitment to peaceful nuclear energy requirements,” he
added.
He further
stated that for peaceful uses uranium must be enriched and Iran has submitted thorough
reports to the agency.
Concerning
Iran-IAEA talks Mehmanparast said "We are always ready that by understanding
between Iran and the agency, Iran’s right to nuclear power is fully recognized.
In this case we will also resolve their concerns and can put a visit to Parchin
in agenda.”
He further
added "Iran-IAEA negotiation has a general framework and we think we have been
most cooperative with the agency and all our activities have gone under its
supervision.”
Providing
comments that the Iranian nuclear case is to be pursued again in the Security
Council Mehmanparast said "This procedure is defective since there is no
obscurity in the Iranian nuclear case and it was agreed that after answering their
questions the case would follow its normal course.”
"We believe that peaceful nuclear activity is
an absolute right for Iran and the agency must consider it.”
