Russia Denies Any Concrete Bushehr Agreement
September 8, 2007 by pulkit
The Russian contractor building Iran’s first nuclear powerplant has said that no concrete agreement about the start of the powerplant has been reached, though, negotiations are underway. This is contrary to Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani’s statement that an agreement has been reached on the timetable.
Russia is playing the waiting game, constantly delaying the project. It is under pressure from the West, but it has also blamed Iranians for procrastinating the payments.
Iranian officials say they have made the proper payments and that Moscow is delaying due to pressure from the West.[source]
