CHOLPON-ATA /Kyrgyzstan/, June 30. /TASS/. Top diplomats from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member nations have called for refraining from further attacks on Iranian nuclear sites under the watch of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"We call for refraining from force methods of settling problems and refusing from new raids on nuclear installations and sites that are covered by the IAEA safeguards and are inspected by the agency," the ministers said in their statement on the situation in the Middle East.

The ministers emphasized that diplomacy is the only way to settle the situation around the Iranian nuclear crisis. "In this context, we take note of the recent statement by the Iranian leadership on Iran’s unwavering commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," the document reads.
