Afshar Suleymani: "IAEA confirms Iran abiding by international laws"

According to IRNA, Ambassador Afshar Suleymani who elaborated on Iran's internal and international policies during the conference, including Tehran-Baku ties, added, "Iran would continue its activities aimed at producing the required fuel for its nuclear reactors, and according to the articles of NPT the signatory parties of that treaty, international organizations, and IAEA are obliged to assist Iran in that respect.

He considered the US and certain other Western countries' campaign aimed at depriving Iran of that "absolute right" as "a move in broad violation of the international laws", arguing, "such moves lead to the weakening of the international bodies."

Soleimani condemned the political pressures imposed against Tehran in that respect, referred to many countries' support for Iran's righteous stands, adding, "Tehran is fully prepared for solving all remaining ambiguities in that respect, and assuring the nternational community about the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities within the framework of the international rules and regulations."

Referring to IRI President Mahmud Ahmadinejad's historic letter to the US President George W. Bush, he said, "In confrontation with the logical tone of that letter the Americans have preferred to observe silence."

Expressing satisfaction over the good level of Tehran-Baku relations, he said, "President Ahmadinejad's recent state visit of Baku to take part at ECO regional conference and his talks with President Ilham Aliyev was very helpful in further improvement of comprehensive bilateral ties.
