Iran will continue to cooperate with International Atomic Energy Agency on 90 % of the projects
Mohammad Saidi, the vice president of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, has declared, that more than 90 % of projects of cooperation of Teheran with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are continuing to be worked out.
The IAEA has decided to cut almost by half projects of the technical assistance to Iran; about 22 of 55 projects of cooperation in nuclear area with Teheran are practically being frozen.
Thus the Iranian representative has specified that the remained 10 % of projects will be considered at subsequent IAEA’s sessions.
According to Saidi these projects are rather minor and insignificant.
The decision of the IAEA is based on the resolution of UNO’s Security Council 1737, accepted in December, 2006. The final decision will be accepted on Advice of IAEA managing directors in March, 2007.
In 1997 Iran received from the Agency the technical assistance, concerning 20 projects, including regulations in the field of nuclear safety, peace atomic engineering, and reception of radioisotopes for the medical purposes.
In Teheran the IAEA’s latest decision is considered as the reduction of Iran’s cooperation with this international organization.
