French Foreign Ministry stated that cooperation between Russia and Iran on the nuclear power reactors does not contradict UN Security Council resolutions.


PARIS, November 12 (RIA Novosti)�� The new agreements on�peaceful nuclear energy cooperation between�Moscow and Tehran do not contradict the UN Security Council resolutions, French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Romain Nadal stated Wednesday.

"Cooperation between�Russia and Iran on�the nuclear power reactors is an exemption allowed by�the resolutions of�the Security Council and therefore they are not within�the scope of�the interim agreement reached in�Geneva on�November 24, 2013," Nadal said at�a press briefing.

On Tuesday, Russia and Iran signed several agreements on�the construction of�two nuclear reactor units at�the Bushehr nuclear power plant, using Russian technology, with�the possibility of�building six more in�the future. An inter-agency memorandum of�understanding for�the expansion of�cooperation in�the field of�nuclear energy for�peaceful purposes was also signed.

During the November 2013 talks in�Geneva, the�P5+1 group, comprising Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China and Germany, agreed to�reach a deal with�Iran guaranteeing the peaceful nature of�the country's nuclear program by�July 2014. The deadline was later extended to�November 24, 2014.
