Actualité - Arab League Backs Iran in Energy Dispute

Franc-Parler rapporte une nouvelle de Prensa Latina News Agency indiquant que la Ligue Arabe appuie la position de l'Iran dans la "crise du nucléaire iranien". Ce développement important marque la tendance des nations à prendre position en faveur de la souveraineté contre l'ingérence dans les affaires internes des nations ainsi que le droit à développer des programmes nucléaires à des fins pacifiques.

Cairo, Jun 14 (Prensa Latina) - Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Mussa reaffirmed the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to peacefully use atomic energy, according to international treaties.

Mussa said that the Persian country is signatory of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which gives legal authority to Teheran to carry out its energy program, aimed at generating electricity and with no military purposes, as the US and Israel have claimed.

The right to the civil development of nuclear energy is equal for all nations that signed the NPT, reiterated the secretary general.

The Arab League official urged the nations of the region to be free of nuclear weapons, of which Israel has nearly 200, -neither recognized nor denied by its government- according to Arab dailies.

Mussa met with the Iranian chief negotiator for nuclear issues, Ali Larinjani, in Cairo last weekend.

Larinjani pointed out that Teheran does not represent a danger for its neighbor countries.

Iran has resisted international pressure and is willing to find a political solution to the dispute, without relinquishing its rights and in accordance with the NPT, the Iranian chief negotiator pointed out.
