¶1. (U) The Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the
following statement in reaction to the P5 plus 1 meeting
regarding Iran's nuclear weapons program on June 1. The
original text is available in Slovak at www.mzv.sk:
BEGIN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Slovak Republic
welcomes the agreement of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs
of the member states of the Security Council of the UN plus
Germany about the package of incentives, which will be
offered to Iran with the condition that it set aside the
problem of Iran's nuclear program. The MFA of the Slovak
Republic considers this proposal a significant step towards
the renewing of mutual confidence, dialogue and the
negotiation of a mutually beneficial solution.
The Slovak Republic together with international community
expects that the Iranian side will accept this appeal
towards a constructive dialogue on the basis of the
aforementioned proposal, and will meet the conditions of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the UN
Security Council.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic in
this way especially welcomes the decision of the U.S.
Government to directly participate in negotiations with
Iranian officials, which is dependent upon the Iranian side
fully and credibly ending the process of transforming and
enriching nuclear material. The MFA of the Slovak Republic
believes that the role of the USA in negotiations raises the
chances of reaching an agreement.
The offered package of incentives offers Iran the
possibility to decide whether it will go down the path of
dialogue or confrontation. The MFA of the Slovak Republic
believes that Iran's leadership will carefully consider the
proposal and avoid a further deterioration of the situation,
which would force the international community to adopt
adequate measures in accordance with the UN charter.
