MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 11th September, 2018) Russia does not consider the policy of European businesses to fold or limit their activities in Iran to be right, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Tuesday.

"European businesses, especially large enterprises and companies with very serious ties to the United States, prefer to 'protect' themselves from American pressure, including through folding or limiting their business in Iran and with Iran.

We do not consider this to be right," Ryabkov said in an interview with the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily.
