Sergei Kiriyenko Nuclear Quotations

There are practically no problems remaining of an organizational, technical or financial character for creating such a joint venture. That means there exists the possibility of solving the problem associated with Iran's nuclear program within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

On the one hand, we think that every country has the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful means, but on the other hand, the international community has the full right to demand a 100 percent guarantee of the nuclear non-proliferation pact.

Such a centre may also involve other countries, which seek to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

We highly value India' s impeccable track record in non-proliferation, as well as its intention to extend IAEA safeguards on nuclear fuel cycle.

These deliveries are made in line with the main principles of the nuclear suppliers' group.

Iran has the right to peaceful development of atomic energy, but this right must be combined with guarantees of the fulfillment of nuclear nonproliferation demands.
