Supreme Leader: Resistance Against Tyranny Pays Off
Source: Alalam.ir, 12-8-2008
TEHRAN--Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday that resistance by nations against major world powers pays off, state television reported.
"People and their government's resistance in demanding their rights will bear fruit," Khamenei said during a meeting with visiting Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the report said.
If a country does not pursue its legitimate rights seriously it will definitely lose, the Leader said.
The meeting was held on the last day of a three-day visit by the Algerian leader to Tehran.
Ayatollah Khamenei praised Iran's achievements in nuclear industry and said that Iran gained nuclear capabilities under years of sanctions and it seemed that the western sanctions have been helpful in making Iran a self-confident country.
"The Iranian nation and government achieved all the progress they have despite pressures, sanctions, and threats by the domineering powers," Khamenei said.
During Bouteflika's visit, Tehran and Algiers inked separate agreements on avoiding double taxation and customs cooperation as well as a memorandum of understanding for banking cooperation, the television said.
On Monday, Bouteflika met with his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said Tehran would press on with its nuclear program despite the risk of fresh sanctions.
Bouteflika last visited the Islamic republic in 2003, after agreeing to restore relations with Iran in 2000 on the sidelines of a UN summit during a meeting with Iran's then President Mohammad Khatami.
