Russia urges restraint

RUSSIA: Russia has called for restraint over the recent missile and nuclear-related events in Iran, the Interfax news agency reported Monday, citing an unnamed source from the Foreign Ministry.

“It is important not to yield to emotions. We must calm down and, what is the most important, (is to) start efficient negotiations,” said the source when commenting on the Iranian test launches of intermediate-range missiles. The unnamed source also said that Russia “are waiting for results of the Geneva meeting of the Sextet political directors and expect Iran to make some proposals.”
