YEREVAN, November 25. /ARKA/. Official Yerevan welcomes agreements reached in Geneva on Iran’s nuclear program, Armenia’s foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan said in his statement.
It is good news not only for the region, but the entire global community, he said adding Armenia has always supported a negotiated settlement of the problem, the press office of Armenian foreign ministry reports.
The deal is a temporary solution to the problem, but opens up an opportunity for a comprehensive settlement, Nalbandyan said.
Iran and six major powers agreed early Sunday on a historic deal that freezes key parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for temporary relief on some economic sanctions.
The agreement, sealed at a 3 a.m. signing ceremony in Geneva’s Palace of Nations, requires Iran to halt or scale back parts of its nuclear infrastructure, the first such pause in more than a decade.
The deal, intended as a first step toward a more comprehensive nuclear pact to be completed in six months, freezes or reverses progress at all of Iran’s major nuclear facilities. –0--
