TEHRAN (ISNA) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday the country is building new generation of centrifuges.

"I have already said that the nuclear train has neither brake and nor moves backwards and I say now that we do not have any technical default," he said in a press conference.

"We are moving forward in technical and technologic sector. Centrifuges are working. The new generation of centrifuges will come soon and we are moving in the legal framework."

"We have most cooperated with the IAEA and our enrichment activities are based on the law, but the main issue is the enmity of the West (particularly the US and its allies) with Iran's independence and progress," he said.

"We have always said that we accept mutual respect, but the process (talks) will not bear results as long as they (the West) refuse to turn the hegemonic approach into cooperation."
