MOSCOW, August 29 (RIA Novosti) Moscow has called on the West to refrain from the temptation to bargain in the final stage of resolving Irans nuclear issue by trying to get more from Iran than is needed for a balanced package, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.
Its very important that on the final stage to avoid temptations, some of our partners have temptations and attempt to use artificial time elements get just a little bit more than is necessary to provide a balanced and fair package, Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif in Moscow.

Russia will work on preserving the cooperative spirit that prevailed at the 2013 November talks on Irans nuclear program in Geneva, according to Lavrov.

Its very important to see red lines here and think not only about our own interests, which is natural, but also think about global challenges a non-proliferation regime, not setting precedents. It can be done without prejudice to somebodys specific positions, based on a balance between the interests. We are ready for it and will seek the prevalence of such spirit, the Russian prime minister added.

On November 24, 2013, an action plan was adopted in Geneva, according to which Iran, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and China agreed to reach an agreement that would guarantee the peaceful nature of Tehrans nuclear program, in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions against Iran.

The document must be signed a year from the Geneva Accord, which gives the parties until November 24, 2014, to reach a final agreement.

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is an international agreement signed in 1968 and in effect since 1970 to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and technology.

The main pillars of the treaty are non-proliferation, disarmament and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
