02 June 2012 [11:48] - Today.Az
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) Secretary General Muratbek Imanaliyev said that Islamic Republic of Iran's request for membership at SCO is under study, IRNA reported.
Imanaliyev told state-run Russia's Voice that a request for membership by Iran like requests by other countries is at the center of attention and a special working group deals with these issues.
"The important point is that according to a document by SCO, there is an article which says that the countries being under sanctions of the United Nations cannot become a SCO member," he added.
Imanaliyev, however, said that this does not mean that Ira's membership request would be ignored.
