Iran-Ahmadinejad-Press Conference
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that Iran's peaceful nuclear activities are more crystal clear than any other countries adding "the Western countries should allow inspection of their nuclear facilities."
Speaking at a press conference, the president posed the question whether those Western countries would allow their nuclear facilities to be inspected or not.
"What type of literature do they use to address our nation?" asked the president adding that their words would only discredit the IAEA as well as the UN Security Council.
In response to a question by a Japanese reporters on Iran's nuclear issues, he said "We have announced time and again that the claims raised by Westerners have no legal base and I would like to advise them not to isolate themselves. Adopting a bullying policy will only spread hatred among their nations."
Leaders of the Western negotiating teams are among the most hated heads of states among others as well as among their own nations, he said.
"The Middle Ages era is over and they should quit using the language of force and bullying," Ahmadinejad said, adding "If you are in search of a role to play in global equations, you should avoid discrediting the international organizations.
"We have always called for negotiations but advise them (the Europeans) to get to know the revolutionary nation of Iran and its government," said the president.
"You assume that by insulting others on your TV and confirming each other's words you will be able to get a right for yourselves in the world. Can you call your behavior as a civilized one?" he questioned.
"Our nation is an independent nation which is taking action under international regulations and is to pursue its own path," said the president," he said.
