There is no alternative to negotiations as the way of settling the Iranian nuclear problem, the Russian envoy Grigory Berdennikov said Wednesday at a session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency /IAEA/.
He heads the Russian delegation to the session.
“We”d like to stress the absence of alternatives to the diplomatic resolution of the issue and the remaining outstanding questions that concern the Iranian nuclear program so that the IAEA would have an opportunity to make sure undeclared nuclear materials and prohibited activities are not found on the Iranian territory,” Berdennikov said.
“The IAEA continues effectuating inspections in Iran and has a wealth of data on the Iranian nuclear program,” he said.
In part, inspections were held the check the information on “materials available de facto at the fuel enrichment unit, the information on the structure of the enrichment unit in Fordu, the research reactor in Arak, which is under construction now, the unit for the manufacturing of fuel, and other facilities.”
“All these facts prove that Iran continues ensuring the IAEA”s controlling functions envisioned in the agreement on guarantees,” Berdennikov said.
