MOSCOW, April 1. /TASS/. Moscow and Tehran are putting the final touches to the draft of a comprehensive treaty, Russia’s special presidential representative for Afghanistan, Director of the Foreign Ministry's Second Asia Department Zamir Kabulov, has told TASS.
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 explained. "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.
