The Republic of Cyprus welcomes the conclusion of a framework agreement on the nuclear programme of Iran


The Republic of Cyprus welcomes the conclusion of a political framework agreement between the group E3+3 (United Kingdom, France, Germany, USA, Russia and China) and Iran on the nuclear programme of Iran. It expresses its full support to the Agreement, which contributes to the goal of a Middle East free from the threat of weapons of mass destruction. The Agreement is a very positive development at a critical juncture when the Middle East is convulsed by armed conflict, the rise of terrorism and extremism.

This development increases the responsibility of Iran, to hold good neighbourly relations without interference in the internal affairs of other countries in the region, in order to allay the fears and apprehensions that ensue from the conclusion of this agreement. Cyprus expresses its satisfaction for this development and is looking forward to the completion of a final comprehensive agreement by 30 June 2015.
