International Affairs: Mr. Ambassador, this year's round of negotiations over Iran's nuclear program in Moscow on June 17-19 seems to have had a lot of meaning. The approach of Russia, which champions a politico-diplomatic solution to the problem, and its interest in seeing concrete results from the meeting - a continuous dialogue, and step-by-step progress - had been reiterated during the visit of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Tehran ahead of the talks. The visit not only confirmed Moscow's readiness to promote dialogue on the issue, but also provided yet another signal to the participants of the negotiation process that, as before, Russia would not support sanctions against Iran. How do you, Mr. Ambassador, assess Russia's role in preparing and conducting one more round of negotiations and the results of the Moscow meeting between the group of six mediators and Iran?
