Russia’s president voiced concern on Friday over Iran’s revelations on
a second uranium enrichment facility, and urged the country to provide
reassurances over its nuclear program, foreign media reports.
Dmitry Medvedev said in a statement circulated at a G20 economic
summit in Pittsburgh that the fact that Iran has been building a
uranium facility for several years without informing the UN nuclear
watchdog is a "source of serious concern."
He urged the country to take steps to prove that its nuclear program
is peaceful before a meeting with six world powers in Geneva on
October 1.
"The meeting will give Iran an opportunity to show that it is still
searching for a diplomatic solution to the problem," Medvedev
said. "We hope Iran will provide convincing proof that it is seeking
purely civilian nuclear technology."
