Kazakhstan President: We Won't Help Iran Obtain Nukes
[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev assured visiting Israeli President Shimon Peres on Tuesday that his country would not assist Iran in advancing its nuclear program. "I understand that this issue concerns you, as it does us," Nazarbayev said. "There will be no flow of any nuclear substances from our territory." Addressing Israel's security situation, he said, "unfortunately, Israel is surrounded by neighbors who do not strive for peace....We've been informed of the (peace) initiatives laid out by Netanyahu and Obama - and we back these initiatives." Officials from both countries signed an agreement to cooperate in the satellite field. A year ago Israel successfully launched its Amos-3 communications satellite from the Kazakh city of Baikonur.
