25 February 2010 [18:12] - Today.Az
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said that transparency can resolve the Iranian nuclear standoff with the West.
"I think the way out of this situation is responsible behavior by Iran itself," AFP quoted the Russian president as saying in an interview with the French magazine Paris-Match on Thursday.
"We believe that Iran's nuclear programs should conform to the demands of international organizations like the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Organization], and also that work in this area should be transparent for oversight," Medvedev went on to say.
"So far, unfortunately, there are many problems here," he further explained.
Iran's nuclear facilities and enriched uranium remain under the supervision of IAEA inspectors, as outlined in the NPT Safeguards Agreement.
The UN nuclear watchdog has carried out the highest number of inspections in Iran, compared to any other country throughout its history and has found nothing to indicate any diversion toward weaponization.
