[Marxism] Ahmadinejad: "Iran Will Not Negotiate Its Inalienable Right" (9 June 2006)

["Yoshie Furuhashi" <critical.montages@xxxxxxxxx>]

Today, Ahmadinejad delivered an even clearer response to Washington's overture:

<blockquote>Iran will not negotiate its inalienable rights, President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here [Qazvin] Thursday night.

President Ahmadinejad, who arrived in the northwestern province of
Qazvin Thursday morning along with members of his cabinet, made the
remark while addressing families of martyrs and war veterans of the
province.

"We intend to hold talks (with states) on international issues.
(Certain countries) spread propaganda that if they officially
recognize Iran's right to have access to nuclear fuel cycle, it will
be tantamount to giving a major concession to our nation.

"They should not think that if they hold talks with Iran, it means
they have given a concession to the country.

"They should know that it is the Iranian nation which accepts to
negotiate with them on international issues. This is the Iranian
nation who is giving procession to them," he said.

He added, "They make decisions against Palestine, Iraq and
Afghanistan. We intend to hold talks with them on roots of corruption,
discrimination and cruelties.

"In that case, peace will be established in the world and nations
throughout the world will enjoy welfare.

"The Iranian nation insists on its inalienable rights and will never
give them up."

The president stated, "Our nation raises flag of invitation to justice
and humanity. My letter to (the US President George W. Bush) has been
written about increasing problems in the world." Head of Supreme
National Security Council further added the Iranian nation is powerful
and a real superpower. ("Iran Will Not Negotiate Its Inalienable
Right: President," 9 June 2006, IRNA)

A sign that our man in Iran is winning the domestic debate on how to
respond to Washington?
