i'm. not. joining.

with. atomic energy agency what's making. the relations between moscow. with the russian ambassador to. iran has been trying. despite most of the skepticism and fears. the radioactive fuel for its nuclear power stations. but an atom bomb as if. iran is not allowing the international monitors into the country. the un security council to impose sanctions against iran russia has long been trying to build bridges between iran and the west but. those bridges. the russian ambassador to iraq.

is not. a given thank you for coming. we're going to talk about iran's nuclear program today. probably the main problem here is. whether there are nuclear weapons in iran. would you say this that iran's nuclear program is a real threat for anyone. to go with the new bill and. indeed this has been an issue for several years solar array to just get there live and we don't have a definite answer to this question at this point we should. of course we can say for sure that iran has a bomb or he's ready to make it here. and we can only base our judgment on the information and data gathered by the international atomic energy

agency here my theory ali good resolutions did the i.a.e.a. board of governors the dogs after carefully examining the situation here is that. by the way i'd like to say that a border is the only competent international agency on this issue you've got any way of making resolutions that it dogs and become the basis of can for our judgments and new u.n. security council's resolutions from the regarding iran's nuclear program is the clear she and you've creation in the end we cannot use any other sources any other opiates nor any other decisions you bring in mark to draw a definite conclusion about what's dear and what's not true that it is important for us to know why they and we sure are a team she what's the purpose of this enrichment. what is the quantity over the

reassuring. know where there iran needs doing to reach such a high degree if we don't need to short peaceful purposes here be deleted some suspected to reminisce pursuing nuclear research issues in order to produce. to be able to produce nuclear weapons. of course there's what tension is growing. but it's not clear if the holiday will use it or not i assure you of course arrangements just know i suppose that they have any intention of creating an atomic bomb as they say that their nuclear program totally peaceful. however it's just not about them it's their lack of desire for a more constructive dialogue. there on the willingness to discuss the issue at an appropriate level that is true with the six nations which only strengthens our

concerns chances. and usual on you of course we want to see dialogue and in fact the united nations security council resolutions see this problem should be resolved through diplomatic. negotiations or produce without the use of force but be the way you could push by the way is not allowed by the u.n. charter. let's take a look at the history of iran's nuclear program and report by spotlight see the. hearing in nuclear program started in the end in sixty's ironically with the help of the united states it was meant for peaceful purposes and the west continued supporting the program until one thousand nine hundred seventy nine revolution group hardline islamic regime to power the program was done suspended only to be revived in the one nine hundred ninety s. they still in iran had the support of russia which has helped iran build

a power plant in to share the u.s. and other western countries if suspicious believe in the iran could use its nuclear program to make weapons its ruach to cooperation with the international atomic energy agency and it to waste a nice try. they should good as a christian when president ahmadinejad's came to power in iran in two thousand and six the un security council imposed sanctions on iran for a long time and russia was against the measures and so diplomatic solution it was not supposed to now russia and china much of the greek creation needs to be put on iran the international consensus on toughest sanctions was however not supported by turkey and brazil which negotiated their own cool exchange killed the iran dusty iran's nuclear program remains an extremely disturbing and liberates in the shoe

even though most school has taken a tougher stance on iran it is constantly cool in footy iran to openness and cooperation with international institutions. of the. you've mentioned that iran denies any intention to produce nuclear weapons so why aren't they being more open about this so that they can prove the peaceful nature of their nuclear program or shock of step with of the cause that's you know in the rains are not against inspections but they claim they are inspectors already have access to all nuclear facilities. the thing is because nobody has ever proved this to be wrong. and that's why i mean you for the experts to be able to discuss the ship discuss older concerns and get all the necessary data and that she had better transparency experience of who

he is really important that we email each around and talks you know why do you mean four months that's why the russian president when he was addressing the russian ambassador the russian diplomats at their russian foreign. ministry few days ago emphasized that we need to start these talks and as soon as possible in order to remove those concerns at least we hope they will remove them. and here and now is how president medvedev formulated russia's position on iran's controversial nuclear program. we should step back from simplified approaches to dealing with this problem its ogres that iran is closer to developing the potential to make a nuclear weapon acquiring such potential is not prohibited by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and this constitutes one of the problems but this is

a systematic problem which has to do with imperfections in the current one proliferation regime therefore approaches to individual countries and to dealing with this particular issue should not be selective but should be common ones who repeatedly told our american and european partners that sanctions as a rule do not produce desirable effects but they send a signal from the international community which should encourage negotiations what we need now is patience and a speedy resumption of talks with iran this is the main meaning of the new u.n. resolution and if diplomats miss this chance it will be our common failure we shouldn't forget however that iran's own behavior is far from perfect recall in tehran to practice openness and a necessary level of cooperation with the i. resigned russian diplomats of always believe that sanctions never work sanctions never help make progress in fact u.s. diplomats think so as well yet the u.s.

government introduced sanctions. to eventually agreed with the sanctions so why did moscow reckon city its position was a diplomatic necessity to call decision. we have consistently participated in the sanctions policy. has been pursued with respect to iran for a number of years now. that indeed this policy failed to produce a solution that would remove this problem entirely. problem will pull us no but you see. the sanctions are more political nasa just to iran. the issue of nuclear nonproliferation and the unacceptability of any activities that may result hypothetically in iran having nuclear weapons but he's worse all these issues are crucial to us. and that's the message that we

want to send us your name is someone that you can choose because there are at least ten countries around the world but that are on the threshold of having nuclear weapons that he's there on the meter so he's bottled if this process starts in one country that this may create serious problems for a global security wishing seriously a problem was and i wouldn't see that the arena of categorically refused to talk about it so basically it's the question of hollow these talks should be conducted and what determines our. medium of film and that's why by the way we don't think it would be wise to make demands on iran before the talks start up within that show it to go on and it is crucial to get the negotiation started with him that he believes

it is important to engage iran in a frank and jamie in the discussion that's what is crucial at the ocean waters says alexander said dubnyk of russian ambassador to iraq spoke like a movie back shortly right out to break so stay with us we'll continue in la. then minutes. in the. morning and lasted for almost a fantasy is the jewel of two superpowers and two brains. a couple of. miles to live the spoons congress on the. tories which are made to police children's. health.

back to spotlight i'm alvin love and just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander a sudden dharmic of the russian ambassador to terror. because many countries in this region have nuclear weapons the biggest on that india and israel they all have nuclear weapons and everybody knows about that and these countries don't try to deny it and still nobody gets hysterical about it on the other hand iran doesn't seem to have any nuclear weapons and everyone agrees that it doesn't iran may go nuclear get everybody gets just the first word that comes to mind is double standards can you explain this. question about the double standard should rather be addressed to diplomats so father country is not russia right so why. deal of look on your screen well you know it has to do with the fact that certain issues date back to the beginning of the century will be when some unauthorized undeclared

activities with them run by iran in this area were discovered and that the quote and they triggered quite an appropriate response is that both from the i.a.e.a. is this and in those countries so we should bear responsibility for global security at the including russia. so russia got involved in the talks which originally were started by three european countries then russia china and the united states joined in and that's how the five plus one format them are inched. you see iran is a large country but surely what i get has a rapidly developing economy. it has a large economic and military code ten show and then you came in but you also know ran is to reach in a natural resources and it has

a considerable number of well trained skilled engineers. so if we're to give birth to pursue nuclear program you have every chance to develop nuclear weapons. and in this case with them are you considering the tension in this part of the world and iran's active position on the global political arena. but as you know this could become a source of some serious additional tensioners. of course i wouldn't single out to iran isn't unpredictable nation or a nation of those opposing eg grave threat to mankind. these are all exaggerations made by some countries. gushing for instance we have always been against this sanctions proposed by some on top of

the united nations sanctions. you mean the us sanctions yes even to the latest tough for version of sanctions adopted by the u.s. and already in force they go beyond words needed decision. and they go beyond the u.n. sanctions. that's a unilateral step you off course that's unilateral step in now europe is doing the same. we find new sanctions adopted by europe absolutely unacceptable and in no way supporting the positive trend in resolving the problem over iran's nuclear program and. such measures can prove to be counterproductive because they me trigger in negative reactions. and actually the the sanctions that the united states has imposed against these climate where public are the toughest

average is three here is a quote from president barack obama. we are ratcheting up the pressure on the iranian government for its failure to meet its obligations and today we're taking another step a step that demonstrates the broad bipartisan support for holding iran accountable . i'm pleased to sign into law the toughest sanctions against iran ever passed by the united states congress there should be no doubt the united states and the international community are determined to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. what this does russia think about the recent mediating efforts by brazil and especially to turkey is getting very active i recently had a meeting with some techs and they told me that they country was getting very actively involved in the mediating mission. what is russia's position here do we support is efforts. to put across as i'm sure you know

very well here and in brazil and turkey in talk to these so-called declaration in may. and we said that we viewed it as a positive development. means that a new u.n. security council to direct solution in all foreign ministers issue to the joint statement of the commanding brazil and turkey for their contribution and saying that they to run declaration was a positive development. one of the reasons these efforts were helpful was because their objective was to resolve an important side issue related to rense nuclear program namely the issue of providing nuclear fuel for that to iran a research area. the reactor is used for purely peaceful purposes

it produces isotopes for medical and technical purposes. from the very beginning when this issue first came up list for. we did our best to help resolve this issue. and find a way to supply the tirana reactor with fuel she would you. because we viewed this as an opportunity to create in their most fear of trust that would then help us resolve the main problem iran's nuclear program. or. that cuban leader fidel castro coming to done the situation a few days ago so he was to that's quite a rare occasion as he hasn't spoken to the public for quite a long time anyway he said washington's policy with respect to iran may escalate tensions in the region and eventually result in an armed conflict and he said he

wouldn't rule out such a possibility quaestors political weight and the fact that he used one of his rare appearances in public to speak on this subject even though iran is quite far from cuba all these calls many people to think seriously this situation will do you make of this i'm sure you're full of the situation because you have to report to moscow so how serious is the danger do you think castro is right or easy exaggerating the cancer wasn't talking about the threat that iran poses to other nations and he was talking about other nations there at the new rand so since we are in iran. exactly we are also portentious objects of this threat so you must be on the lookout and so we are and being located in tehran we cannot comment over and give assessments as to whether if such a scenario is possible. i mean of a threat that might come from israel or from the united states government what truly matters though is that we're firmly opposed to the mere possibility of such

a scenario in and we'll do everything possible to keep anyone from such steps. whether we can rule it out on knowledge or you can true out anything in this world but the consequences of such a move would be not just tragic it would be. and he's asked are these because everyone understands that iran will defend itself and quite seriously. in this regard we can agree with what fidel said about the possible outcome. but it is hard to tell though whether this danger is real or e.t. is used as an instrument of political pressure but the very fact of those threats and discussions about possible strikes are not just counterproductive. you know we they encourage iran to take a tougher stance and they may quranic more determined to resist and even build

up its military. and actually any country where you no matter what with think of it whether it's good or bad whether it's iran or any other country including russia any country would respond to threats the same way. but what's more important is that those are such a to do such comments make the situation with iran more unstable or i would rather see more unpredictable. so in my opinion this has a negative effect on the situation with iran's you've got to work or get on the show to mr ambassador there is one more question i have to. this issue has been widely discussed in the media lately after russia supported the un sanctions a group of iranian m.p.'s the coldness government to cool teles with russia what do

you think is this issue worth talking about is this an important statement or is a truly something in significance. is nineteen actually i commented on that in an interview i gave in tehran. you know it's a normal situation in that one and there are always differ. and sometimes opposite viewpoints in any parliament in this case there are several in fees and in fact there are a number has probably grown recently due to rand's emotional response to the un resolution and our decision to support it actually the media and governmental officials in iran's did a lot to provoke such a strong reaction among the iranian people. as you mean known iran made some of our statements and we responded to them. but in the end common sense prevailed

in the iranian parliament. despite all the criticism despite all those demands to use. practical people so i think pragmatism and common sense saw strong iranians so we saw eventually they decided that this situation should not have a long term negative effect on their relations and create problems for the future which probably thank you thank you very much your excellency and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today was alexander said russian ambassador to tell you that and that's it for the outcome of us here if you want to tap your sales spotlight just drop us a line we'll be back with more first and comment on what's going on day in and out that russia until then stay on our take and take and.
