Iran-Nuclear-Ahmadinejad
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Saturday that the powers, which have not been willing to see Iran's access to nuclear technology, have politicized it.
In a live TV address, President Ahmadinejad said, "Our nuclear issue is divided into two specific parts: Firstly the one dealing with nuclear technology, which is a key issue, because some states have monopolized it and use it as a means for their long-term domination over the world. Secondly, the political side of the nuclear issue. That's for 30 years that they raise hues and cries that Iranian nation is a backward nation and Iran has no option but staying backward."
The president said that under pressures and sanctions, Iran gained access to nuclear energy despite their consent. This was hard for them because Iran is a model for the world. Any move Iran has taken thus far has impressed the world."
He added that Iran's nuclear issue has no legal problem and any criticism raised on it lacks any legal ground and is important for the west just because of its political nature.
He went on to say that west wanted to take time from Iran, mainly due to the political achievement that the nuclear issue could have for the country.
He stressed that Iranian nation does know the world domineering system, which seeks monopolizing power.
