Russian diplomat comments on comprehensive treaty with Iran

When asked about the timeframe for signing the treaty, Kabulov said that "there are no approximate deadlines."

"The draft was in a state of high degree readiness already at the beginning of this year, but then the Iranian partners added several amendments that required another interdepartmental coordination in Russia," Kabulov told TASS.

"After scrutinizing these amendments last week, we handed over our own version to the Iranians. We are waiting now."

"It will all depend on how fast they are through with this. Then it will be possible to discuss a date [of signing]," he said.
