Diplomacy key to solving Iran nuclear issue - Iranian envoy

 

Iran's Ambassador to Vienna Hassan Tajik describes diplomacy and negotiations as the only promising solution to the Western dispute over Iran's nuclear energy program, Press TV reports.

 

In an exclusive interview with Austria Press Agency (APA) on Wednesday, Tajik said that Tehran maintains enough transparency over its civilian nuclear activities, and is ready to cooperate with the West over its atomic program. 

He further called on the West to recognize Iran's right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). 

“The only practical solution to the impasse over Tehran's nuclear case is diplomacy,” Tajik pointed out.
