Georgia won't affect Russian stance on Iran: envoy http://uk.reuters.com/article/GCA-GeorgiaUK/idUKL344864020080903?sp=true

LONDON (Reuters) - The Georgian crisis will not affect Russian cooperation with the West on tackling Iran's nuclear program, unless Western powers make it an issue, Moscow's ambassador to Britain said on Wednesday. Russia's war with Georgia last month has soured Moscow's relations with the United States and European Union.

But asked how cooperation on the Iran nuclear question would be affected, envoy Yuri Fedotov said: "It's a different issue which of course has no relation to the crisis in Georgia." http://uk.reuters.com/article/GCA-GeorgiaUK/idUKL344864020080903?sp=true
