Tehran - (Saba):
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs and member of the Iranian negotiating delegation, Kazem Gharibabadi, stated on Thursday that compromising Iran's nuclear rights in negotiations is unacceptable.
Mehr News Agency quoted Gharibabadi as saying, "Independence is the most important principle at the forefront of the foreign policy apparatus, and this principle is based on the principle of denying the path and non-domination by foreigners."
He added, "We do not formulate our policies based on the interests of powers, but rather based on the interests and security of our country and people."
The Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs noted that "in the negotiations, one issue that has always been important for the Iranian side is the full realization of the Iranian people's nuclear rights."
He continued, "We have spent resources on progress in the nuclear field, and we have also paid human costs, such as the nuclear martyrs, along the way."
Gharibabadi added, "The nuclear industry and enrichment are modern technologies and a real need for Iranian society. There are a number of Few countries in the world enrich uranium and have a complete nuclear fuel cycle, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is one of them. These rights are our concern in any negotiations, and these rights must not be violated."
