Rowhani: We`ll never compromise our dignity, independence, know-how
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Kermanshah, Feb 3, IRNA -- Iran`s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and top nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani said here Thursday Iran will never compromise its independence, dignity and technical know-how but is fully determined to take the right path in dealing with the world. "Our economy cannot be introvert and a number of our developing projects have come to a standstill due to lack of national resources," said Rowhani in a meeting with a group of provincial officials. Referring to the US adverse publicity against Iran`s peaceful nuclear technology, Rowhani said, "We do our utmost to maintain our independence and we would resolve the nuclear issue on a day if lose our independence." "We have never been attempting to develop nuclear weapons and the idea has no room in our defense strategy," he underlined. Iran`s nuclear issue has been the most complicated legal and technical dossier throughout history, he said, adding that the country should act based on wisdom to proceed with the dossier, safeguard national security and take advantage of the existing opportunities, he said. Iran`s negotiations on nuclear technology have been conducted under supervision of the country`s top officials, said Rowhani, adding that "We`ve successfully foiled many plots hatched against us but we should keep in mind that our enemy is powerful and leaves effective impacts on countries engaged in nuclear negotiations with Iran." On Iraq`s elections, Rowhani said the high turn-out of the Iraqi nation under the present circumstances proves that they are thirsty for their national sovereignty. He expressed the hope that formation of national assembly in Iraq would give way to powerful presence of the public on the scene to decide their fate and to preparation of the ground for foreign troop pullout. 1430/1420
