IAEA legal experts expected in Iran, Kharrazi
Tehran, July 29, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said on
Tuesday that a group of legal experts from International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) will visit the Islamic Republic of Iran in the coming
days.
"Legal experts from IAEA are expected to brief us about issues
consistent with the additional protocol. Then respective officials
will take final decision", he told reporters.
IAEA Head Mohamed ElBaradei has urged the Islamic Republic of Iran
to sign the Additional Protocol to non-proliferation treaty (NPT).
The protocol grants short-notice access to nuclear installations
of the member states by the IAEA inspectors.
Asked about whether or not the progress made in negotiations on
legal regime of the Caspian Sea among the five neighboring states has
satisfied Iran, Kharrazi said that the negotiations met part of
Iranian demand and the other part remained to be resolved in the
continued negotiations.
"The negotiations should proceed to include the other part of
Iranian demands in the final platform," Kharrazi said.
