Accusations against IAEA are impermissible - Russian Foreign Minister

"Statements made by some European countries concerning information hidden by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohammad ElBaradei, are a sign of disrespect for his office and abilities," Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, said at a joint news conference with Slovakia's Foreign Minister, Miroslav Laichak, which was held in Moscow, Vesti TV channel reported.

Recently, France confirmed accusations previously made against the IAEA, saying that the UN body was hiding important information on Iran's nuclear program. The head of the organization, Mohammad El-Baradei, delivered a sharp rebuttal, the BBC reported.
