Ahmadinejad: Hegemonic Powers Influence Region with Terror Acts
On his official visit to Armenia, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed that the hegemonic powers of the world aim at influencing the region with terrorist actions.
During his meeting with Iranians residing in the Armenian capital Yerevan, Ahmadinejad noted that the hegemonic powers only care to pass on their power to their pawns in the region, making of them their "puppet regimes".
Moreover, President Ahmadinejad indicated that the arrogant powers of the west have victimized millions of people through provoking wars, adding that their time has come to an end.
"The West is jealous of Iran's progress in various fields including science, construction and economy. Hegemonic powers know well that a powerful Iran can change international equations. The West has always tries to pressure Tehran by sanctions but it could not impede Tehran's progress", Ahmadinejad stated.
In this context, the Iranian President affirmed that referring to terror has never been one of Iran's values in culture or policies. "Iranians around the world are advocates of justice and peace", he stated in this regard.
Also, visiting the Armenian parliament, Ahamdinejad highlighted the mutual interests of Tehran and Yetevan, saying "they have similar stands on various issues including the establishment of peace and justice in the world".
