MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 11th June, 2019) Moscow is concerned by Tehran's moves on growing its nuclear potential, but it understands that Iran has no other choice in the current state of affairs, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Tuesday.
"We are concerned that the moment is coming when new steps by Iran are possible within framework of measures announced by Iranian President [Hassan] Rouhani on limiting the volume of commitments, voluntary undertaken by the Islamic republic. This is a concept that is called in diplomatic circles as 'less for less'. Of course we are not amused by this approach, 'more for more' would be better, but the reality is that Iran has no choice and we approach this situation with understanding," Ryabkov told reporters on the sidelines of the Primakov Readings international forum, held in Moscow.
