Russia to carefully study IAEA report: Official

Moscow, Apr 29 (UNI) Moscow will carefully study the report on Iran, submitted by IAEA head Mohamed El Baradei to the UN Security Council, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak said.

''We will study the report very carefully in order to define our position and our possible future actions related to Iran's nuclear problem,'' Mr Kislyak told Interfax news agency last night.

He said it was ''still too early'' to make comments on the report, adding ''the document is very serious.'' Meanwhile, the official spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said the report would be discussed in detail on May 3, in Paris at the meeting of political directors of Russia, the US, China and the EU-3, including Britain, France and Germany.

''The situation will be considered in light of the report by the IAEA director general,'' Mr Kamynin said.

El Baradei's report submitted yesterday said the Iranian specialists had managed to enrich uranium-235 to 3.6 per cent at a nuclear facility in Natanz, RIA Novosti said.

It also said the IAEA was still not fully informed about the entire scale of Iran's nuclear programme, which hampered the progress of the talks on the issue.
