He announced this at a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“Of course, we could not get around with the Federal Chancellor and the question is another, extremely important not only for the region, but for the whole world - it is a question around maintaining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action for the Iranian Nuclear Program ... Russia and Germany strongly support further implementation of the JCPOA, ”the president said.
He recalled that after the United States abandoned "this fundamental agreement," Iranian partners announced the suspension of their voluntary commitments under the JCPOA.
“I want to emphasize that it is a question of voluntary commitments. Although they emphasize their readiness to return to full compliance with the nuclear deal, ”Putin added.
Earlier, French Defense Minister Florence Parley called for dialogue in the situation surrounding a nuclear deal with Iran.
On January 5, Tehran announced the fifth and final stage of reducing its obligations under the JCPOA.
The United States later called on Russia and other countries to abandon the nuclear agreement with Iran.
Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany announced that they were continuing their obligations under the Iranian nuclear deal.
