MOSCOW, May 17 (RIA Novosti) - A controversy round depleted nuclear fuel return from Iran to Russia has been settled, announced Sergei Lavrov, Russia's acting Foreign Minister.
"Don't make a political sensation of it-the matter is over and done with, and we shall now deal with its commercial aspects," he said to a news conference after talks with Kamal Kharrazi, his Iranian counterpart.
Iran has by now secured Russia's principled consent. "There are only certain pricing and other commercial issues to deal with. Spent nuclear fuel must be returned to Russia. That is the point we are proceeding from," added Dr. Kharrazi.
