Putin praises ‘a firm choice for stability’
Print Edition
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin hailed the deal reached on Iran’s nuclear drive as a “firm choice for stability and cooperation.”
“We are certain that today the world has breathed a huge sigh of relief,” Putin said in a statement published on the Kremlin’s website. “Despite attempts to argue in favor of scenarios of force, the participants of the talks made a firm choice for stability and cooperation.”
Putin said Moscow would “do everything in its power” to ensure the agreement worked and called on all sides to fulfill their part of the bargain.
“We expect that all of the interested parties, primarily the 5+1 countries, will fully adhere to the decisions that have been reached,” Putin said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emerged from talks in Vienna to promise Russia will be “actively participating in the practical steps for the realizations of the agreement.”
This includes taking the low-enriched uranium out of Iran and bringing it to Russia, he told journalists.
The deal “will play an important role in ensuring non-proliferation in general” as well as “make the situation in the Middle East healthier,” he said.
