NEW DELHI, October 17 (RIA Novosti)-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov denied Monday media reports that Russia had transferred nuclear technologies to Iran.
Speaking at a news conference in the Indian capital New Delhi, Ivanov dismissed allegations to the effect that had appeared in Britain's Sunday Telegraph as "complete nonsense."
He said some circles in the West had long criticized Russia for constructing the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran. But he said Russia had always honored its international commitments, primarily to the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
