TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday he
is ready to "debate and talk" with US President Barack Obama in a
public meeting before the mass media when he attends the UN General
Assembly later this month.
"As we have said earlier and as we announced during Mr. Bush's tenure,
we are ready to debate and talk about important global issues (with Mr.
Obama) in the presence of the world media," Ahmadinejad said in his
first press conference after his reelection.
"We believe that the era of secret moves and secret agreements to
decide the fate of the world is over and the world nations should be
aware of the developments," he added.
Ahmadinejad also announced that he would certainly attend the UN
General Assembly along with his colleagues and stressed that Iran would
be present in any such meetings in future.
"We oppose the current situation of the world and we believe it is
our responsibility to be present in all arenas and explain our
viewpoints in a bid to reform this situation," he underlined.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said in July that he
wants to engage US President Barack Obama in "negotiations" before the
international media.
He also had previously urged a televised debate with former US president George Bush.
The Iranian president wrote an 18-page letter to President Bush in
2006 that touched on religious values, history and international
relations. The letter was viewed as an offer extended to the United
States for dialogue.
However, the Iranian official's letter never received an answer from the former US president.
President Obama has adopted a new tone for engaging Tehran, drawing
a sharp line between his foreign policies on Iran and that of his
predecessor.
The call for talks comes as earlier in February Ahmadinejad
expressed willingness for dialogue but stressed that negotiations
should be held "in a climate of fairness with mutual respect".
The
Only Solution to protect "Ummah
Diginity" is "Unity":
We
muslims are busy bickering over whether to
fold or unfold our hands during namaz, while
the enemy is
devising ways of cuting them
off.
"Roohullah Khomeni"
Yes to Unity
amongst
muslims
No to shia-sunni sectarianism & other tools of
enemies & evils, which creates fitna amongst
muslims
