Kislyak highlighted necessity for further dialogue with the European Troika of the UK, France and Germany, and the utmost importance of focusing efforts on Iranian nuclear program issue settlement.
"The European Union has said it is willing to promote Russo-Iranian cooperation for civil-oriented nuclear efforts. Given the Islamic Republic's patience... we can expect impressive positive fruit of talks with the European Troika, which promise to spectacularly enhance Tehran's contacts with the EU," said the Russian diplomat.
The Iranian conferee, in his turn, welcomed all-round Russian-Iranian cooperation stepped up. If President Vladimir Putin visits Iran, the contacts will get much closer, he added.
"If Iran had not used its lawful right to develop civil-oriented nuclear technologies in compliance with the NPT [Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty], we would not be holding in respect that international agreement and our obligations," Rohani said, referring to Iran joining the NPT as early as the mid-1960s, under the Shah.
"Iran will use the complete nuclear cycle within the NPT and other international treaties. That is the Iranian nation's final and categorical resolution. If efforts are made to limit Iran as it implements its lawful rights, the Iranian people will not succumb to whatever pressure.
"Iran has never intended to make an A-bomb, and has no such intention now. On the contrary, we are anxious to cancel international fears and alarm concerning our nuclear programs.
"Today, international understandings are coming under an ever greater impact of US policies. That is why other countries are to clarify their position - to say whether they abide by the law or are exposed to Americans' interference and aggression," stressed the Iranian official.
Iran has been considering for several days now whether to partly resume works at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, whose activities were suspended, toward last year's end, to produce a confidential atmosphere at negotiations with the European Union.
To resume the Isfahan routine is Iran's lawful right, stresses Tehran. Meanwhile, uranium enrichment efforts in Natanz remain suspended.
As Iranian experts see it, Tehran's latest announcements of prospects to resume uranium enrichment aim to bring the European Union to make practical resolutions on previous Iranian initiatives, with their objective guarantees of Iranian nuclear programs' civil orientation.
