OF THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN INFORMING








WASHINGTON, 14 March.  / RIA "Nowosti" rIA-"Nowosti"-Korrespondent
Arkadi Orlow /. the secretary of the security council of Russia Sergej
Iwanow, which had come to an attendance into the USA, indicated that
he has the intention of describing to his interlocutors in Washington
the position of Russia regarding co-operation with Iran.  That
indicated Iwanow to the journalist right after the arrival in the
American metropolis in answer of questions in connection with the
assertions of official persons of the USA about the uneasiness of the
white house regarding possible supplies of Russian conventional
weapons at Iran.

After words of the highranking Kremlin representative it is not
correct to speak about the resumption of military-technical
co-operation between Russia and Iran because such a co-operation never
stopped.  Which concerns the supplies, then is no new decision, but
the decision from before-previous or previous year as minimum, said
Iwanow.  It reminded of the fact that it had treated this question in
Washington still with the security advisor of the president Clinton
Samuel Berger.  With the fact Sergej Iwanow underlined that he is
ready to treat this topic with the Sicherheitsberaterin of the US
president Condoleezza Rice and the US Secretary of State Colin Powell.


We will also discuss these questions, and I will inform about those
declarations/agreements, which had been obtained in the course of the
Moscow attendance of the Iranian president Sayed Mohammad Khatami,
said Sergej Iwanow.  With the fact it specified that during the
meeting Vladimir had not been at all spoken PUT in with Mohammad
Khatami on highest level about military-technical co-operation.
