Iran
Interview given by Philippe Douste-Blazy, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to "RFI" (excerpts)
New York, September 16, 2005
Q. – (on Iran)
THE MINISTER – Today, we don't want to go to the Security Council. We simply said that we were willing to go on with the negotiations, but that the Iranians must respond to our proposals. President Ahmadinejad will do so on Saturday. We'll then see what has to be done. If nothing moves, nothing changes – as we have always said and the Prime Minister said yesterday – it isn't at all impossible for there then to be a referral to the Security Council, following the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). That would reinforce the legitimacy of the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency. (...)./.
