“I would say there are two elements basically, on the one hand we can see that the situation is serious, the consequences are there, and they are real. At the same time there are measures that are being taken to stabilize the situation. So, I was explaining this. And this is something that is ongoing, I would say.”

“What we have is a political commitment, it is a political agreement which was crystallized at the Security Council. Having a legal agreement would be unrealistic at this point because, as you know, there are no peace or ceasefire negotiations between the sides. But what we managed to have is a the solid political agreement, and as far as the concrete ways to achieve it, one is what the gentleman was referring to, the will of the sides. But there is also a very important thing, which is the presence of the IAEA here. As you know, ISAMZ, the permanent mission of the IEAE here is supposed to be monitoring this and informing the international community about it. Of course, we are not a military force, we are not international police, but as I like to say, we have the power of the pen, like you. We write. We tell the world what is happening.”

“We are not here talking about a treaty, or a convention, or a legal agreement. What we have is five basic principles. Don't attack the plant. Don't attack from the plant. Don't make the plant a military base. Don't cut the external power supply, etc. So these things are things that must be done.”

“I must say it was extremely difficult, the planning of the mission, obtaining the necessary agreements to come here. Until a few hours ago I was not sure whether I would be able to come here and visit the plant. And of course, this is a result of the increased tensions in the area. But as I always said, the IAEA is not going anywhere, the IAEA will stay here, and I will be returning here, hopefully, very soon. Thank you very much for your interest.”
