Iran-Ahmadinejad-Nuclear
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Thursday said that the enemies presume that the right to access nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and its pursuance is merely Ahmadinejad's concern.

Speaking at the gathering of the provincial town of Selseleh, he added that access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is the right of the whole nation.

In response to the outcries of local people who shouted: "Access to peaceful nuclear energy is our inalienable right", the chief executive hoped that their voice will be heard by some leaders to avoid going through trouble to disrupt our nation's will.

Turning to the fact that Iran's enemies are against the progress and advancement of the Iranian nation, he noted, "Our youth have managed to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes through their efforts and intellect. But the enemies intend to deny our nation its inalienable right by exerting political pressures and creating a poisonous atmosphere."
The president said that to materialize social justice in the country, all the Iranian youth should equally have access to their required facilities.

Ahmadinejad hoped that the decisions to be taken in the cabinet meeting scheduled to be held tonight about the difficulties facing the residents of Lorestan province will be satisfactory.

Meanwhile, addressing the residents of another provincial town, Dolfan, the president said that he will defend the nation's right for access to peaceful nuclear energy.

"Our enemies intend to deprive us of our nuclear rights by exerting political pressure on our country, but we will not yield," he added.
