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.
