IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, June 28, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here on Monday that Iran honors any government established in Iraq by Iraqis themselves.
“Anyone elected by the Iraqi people and considered legal, Iran honors him,” said President Ahmadinejad in a press conference here on Monday.
He said, “We think the Iraqi people are capable enough to form their favorite government.”
On Iran-Saudi Arabia ties, the President said the ties favor all the world Muslims and there is no dark point in the relations.
“We should be brothers and supporters of each other. There are of course some differences which are natural. If the two be beside each other, it would favor the region.
Enemies use differences among nations to implement their sinister goals.”
To a question on inflation, the President said the government will soon announce a revised inflation rate.
On Lebanon, the President said Iran welcomes restoration of peace in Lebanon.
He said, “We have always been condemning foreign interference in Lebanon.”
On Lebanon’s abstention vote to the UNSC’s June 9 anti-Iran resolution, he said the vote is valuable for Iran.
As for Iran’s economic growth rate, he said the rate has been positive and official reports on the issue will soon be unveiled.
