RUSSIA REAFFIRMS COOPERATION WITH IRAN MOSCOW [MENL] -- Russia plans to expand nuclear and defense relations with Iran in wake of the election of a new president accused of the killing of dissidents. Russian officials said President Vladimir Putin has decided to continue efforts to expand economic and security relations with Iran in wake of the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June. They said Moscow plans to send high-level officials to discuss defense and energy cooperation over the next few months. Ahmadinejad has been accused of participating in the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran as well as the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Austria in 1989. "An intergovernmental agreement regulates our cooperation with Iran and the change of leadership will not affect Russian-Iranian cooperation," Russian Federal Agency for Nuclear Power director Alexander Rumyantsev said. Rumyantsev, co-chairman of the Russian-Iranian intergovernmental cooperation commission, said on July 12 that Russia wants to launch Iranian satellites. Iran has developed the Zohreh communications satellite that was expected to be launched in 2005. NOTE: The above is not the full item. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
