/PanARMENIAN.Net/ With the very aim of convincing Russia in the
Iranian question, Bernard Kouchner arrived in Moscow. The Ministers of
Foreign Affairs of both countries, together with some other issues,
will discuss the draft of the Resolution of the UN Security Council,
which toughens sanctions against Iran.
According to the French Minister such Resolution will make Iran reduce
its nuclear program. Paris hopes that UNO Security Council will agree
to apply tough sanctions against Iran. Experts think that Kouchner will
nevertheless try to make Russia change its mind and get its support in
UN Security Council, though the possibility for this is not very big.
Together with this, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)
Director General Mohamed ElBaradei confirmed the words of President of
Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad which said that Iran denies any intention to
create nuclear weapon and insists on peaceful character of uranium
enrichment, "I don’t think that in this phase Iran displays any
serious threat, that it is impossible to cope with by means of
diplomatic methods. Besides, I would like to emphasize that force
should be implemented only with UN Security Council’s agreement and
that is in case, if there is no other possible options," said IAEA
Director Generals.
According to the chairman of the Committee on International Relations
of the Council of the Russian Federation Mikhail Margelov, Iran must
make its nuclear program absolutely transparent and must allow all the
necessary inspections on the territory of the country. "However the
above mentioned should be fulfilled by toughening the diplomatic and
economic efforts. According to the information provided by the IAEA
no proof of the nuclear program having military character has been
found in Iran. We have no reason not to believe the IAEA. Without
such evidence any military actions against Iran will be unwise,"
thinks the Russian Senator. In this regard it is worth mentioning,
that the war in Iraq was caused by the same "evidence" of Saddam
Husein’s possession of weapon of mass destruction. Later it was found
out, that no such weapon was possessed by Saddam, but it was already
too late as the war had already begun.
According to Margelov, the war with Iran may have unpredictable
outcomes, will lock the Afghanistan-Iran-Iraq circle, will have its
impact on the issue of Palestine, Israel and Syria and will ruin the
last hope for having any stabilization in the whole region.
The words of the French Minister received hostile reception in
Iran. The Islamic Republic News Agency announced that the new
authorities of France try to copy Americans in everything. According
to the official representative of Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Mohamed Ali Hossein, the USA is not in a situation to launch any
military actions against Iran with the aim of destruction of the
nuclear objects in the country.
"Iran has strong defensive capacity and we do hope that there are wise
people among the Americans who would not allow any military attack
on Iran, since this would lead to the fact that one day America would
find itself stuck in the region even more," said Hossein.
War with Iran will have its direct say on the countries of South
Caucasus. First of all, all the three countries will have to make
a choice; either to support the USA or to stay neutral. Armenia,
unlike Georgia and Azerbaijan will stay neutral, as for the other
two countries; they may yield to the US pressure. In any case the war
between the US and Iran will be a complete disaster not only for the
region, but for the whole world too.
