Russia will thoroughly study the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief's report on Iran's nuclear issue submitted on Friday before giving any comments, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak said here on Friday.

"We will be studying the report very thoroughly to determine our position and possible steps to solve the issues related to the Iran nuclear problem," Kislyak was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying.

"It would be premature to give comments on the report, for this is very serious document," he said.

Kislyak said the UN Security Council might hold a session on the Iran nuclear problem after some consultations. "As for the dates for holding a Security Council meeting, nobody has ever imposed any limitations here, and the parties would first have to hold more than a few consultations."

The Iranian nuclear problem will become the main theme of the consultations which will begin in Paris on Tuesday.

Kislyak will represent Russia at the Paris meeting, to be attended by his colleagues from France, Great Britain, Germany, China and the United States. The first round of the six-nation consultations over the Iranian nuclear problem on April 19 in Moscow ended with no decisions.

According to Kislyak, "the parties will exchange views on coordinating further moves to resolve the situation around the Iranian nuclear program."
