Zitat:'Tehran keeps right to not sign additional protocol'
TEHRAN, Sept. 1 (MNA) – Dr. Akbar Etemad, the founder and first president of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) from 1974 to 1978 has said that Iran has a right not to implement the additional protocol to the NPT.
“At the peak of tension in Iran-West relations it is hard to imagine why Iran should implement the additional protocol and allow the (International Atomic Energy) Agency inspectors to visit anywhere they want. This is a kind of interference in Iran’s internal affairs” he said in a program on Press TV.
He said, “We should not forget that the agency has asked on several occasions to inspect Iran’s military sites while other countries have never opened such sites to inspectors. They are seeking to push Iran… to sign this protocol but I think that Tehran has a right not to sign it because Iran signed the (nuclear) safeguard agreements but it did not help it, therefore why should it sign the additional protocol. This will never help ease the current situation.”
