President Ahmadinejad: Nations have got wakeful
2010/06/08 IRIB
IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday nations nowadays have become wakeful and will resist oppressors by providing response to various world developments.
The President made the remarks Tuesday in a press conference on the sidelines of the two-day Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) which started in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Tuesday.
Pointing to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the anti-siege activists who were trying to ship aid to the defenseless Palestinians entangled in the Gaza Strip, he said the world today was grieved by the martyrdoms of several members of the Freedom Fleet.
Ahmadinejad believed the attack opened the eyes of the world nations to realities.
He said the tragedy also indicated that pure and sincere feelings were still present in nations inspiring them to take a role in important humanitarian events.
The Iranian President further said that the move taken by residents of the fleet aimed at not merely defending the people in Gaza who have been deprived of the most basics for their daily lives but in reality was to defend the dignity of human beings and their human rights.
The attack also disclosed once again the brutal nature of the Zionist regime, highlighting the fact that it holds no values for freedom of people and their rights, he added, saying that the Iranian nation has for the past three decades cried out the fact that the Zionist regime was originally established to kill while the world got the chance to see it first hand for itself during the latest Zionist crimes against the aid ships.
In another regard, the President said nuclear activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran are considered as the country’s legal rights based on the justice and the global regulations.
He said any attempt to impose anything whatsoever on the justice-seeking nations including the Islamic Iran will be doomed to failure.
Asked about the Vienna group’s reaction to Tehran Declaration on the nuclear fuel swap, Ahmadinejad replied: “We’re waiting for response from the Vienna group; whenever we receive the reply, we will review it.”
The Iranian president reiterated that the world nations and governments supported the Tehran Declaration that was recently issued by Iran, Turkey and Brazil.
He added the international support for the issue indicates that the global nations and governments are in agreement with access to peaceful nuclear energy and removal of the atomic weapons worldwide.
Iran’s president hoped the Tehran Declaration would set the stage for strengthening a new system of the world affairs in the future.
On his travel to China, Ahmadinejad said he is to visit Shanghai international exhibition.
Asked about his expectations from the CICA Conference in Turkey, President Ahmadinejad answered: “We should not think that the world questions could be solved by just holding a summit or a conference." He also predicted that serious measures will be taken against the Zionists’ crimes in the Conference.”
President Ahmadinejad left Tehran for Istanbul, Turkey, Monday to attend the conference.
The presidents of Azerbaijan, Syria and Afghanistan, Ilham Aliyev, Bashar al-Assad and Hamid Karzai respectively, as well as caretaker Palestinian Autonomy Head Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin and a number of representatives from the US, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Ukraine, Qatar and the United Nations (UN) were also present in the conference.
CICA was first established in the early 1990s by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, whose country hosted the only two previous summits, the last one four years ago.
