thanks very much you're welcome and welcome to the show first of all i want to ask you about the economic situation in iran today is living through a difficult new set of sanctions imposed by the west in january and the state finances the fusion. by the west so what consequence is the. economy on how the people there from him in the name of god the merciful the compassionate and i would also like to greet you and your viewers and thank you for organized. for the past thirty three years that have elapsed since our revolution we have been under pressure and sanctions from the united states. and we have learned to turn threats into opportunities. when the revolution first happened domestic production accounted for only five

percent and we imported the other ninety five percent of the goods we needed in exchange for our oil revenues. to dean we produce more than ninety percent of what we need and we only poured some heavy machinery. because it would be economically unfeasible to manufacture it and around. another words economic pressure prompted us to develop our internal capacity. as you know the islamic republic of iran launched its third subtle like recently mr and i want. also we have our own production in various advanced areas like biotechnology us and then it's acknowledging the software development information technology we even explored some of those products.

so i can say that sanctions have turned us into a strong advanced and successful country in many areas of the economy lot of corn and instead of merely importing goods and we are now it taught a little different than trade. well you do sound pretty diplomatic when you also sound optimist at the same time the newly elected parliament in your country has harshly criticized ahmadinejad for the state of the connally there is that i mean from your point of view as a diplomat that your country may try to soften the relations with the world in order to improve the economic situation. but. there's never been our desire to have poor relations with other countries which in fact i think it is the west was putting pressure on various countries seeking to isolate us of

those we have always been working to develop good relations both economically and politically with our neighbors. and today we caught parade well with many countries. and. you mentioned the fact that the parliament is not happy. with iran is an ambitious country. sixty percent or people are under thirty years of age. and we expect that sunni iran will be among the top twenty nations of the world. so because of these high expectations people could pressure on their parliament and the parliament puts pressure on the government but in reality if you take a look at statistics. you will see that despite the global economic crisis and high unemployment rate our government has performed quite well and.

a you speaking about the support for many countries what about russia and do you think do you consider russia to play a special role for iran this international way sions can russia. be an effective maybe say on the upcoming talks. there are several factors that have had a negative effect on our relations in recent years. for example the russian government relied on false information it received from the us and israel. and it was under the impression that iran was developing nuclear weapons. being iran's neighbor russia wanted to use international mechanisms to put in now those efforts. fortunately i can see about

a year ago russia became skeptical about the information it receives from the west . recently russia has been standing delegations to iran and iran's russia in this respect this situation has improved. many russian officials now say that there is no reason to believe that iran a single developing nuclear weapons. western pressure and sanctions are a largely politicized us their purpose is to influence the people of iran. we owe the russian foreign minister a visit to the states last week you know the jury in his talks with. trade states this clinton she asked the lover of

two to two to tell that to translate to the iranian side that talks maybe a last chance to avoid and military attack how scary is that. for your people. of course we have often received similar threats over the past thirty years. on syria kishen so i think they even ahead as specific details for attacking iran. but we know and americans know that throughout the five thousand years of iran's history the people of iran have always defended their country they're really two separate flies their lives for their homeland is for others from before. i think such threats are intended mostly for domestic consumption their purpose is not so intimidating us.

if you visit iran's today actually you will see crowns of people in marketplaces shopping. this is because on the march twenty first we will celebrate new year's i mean this is this is the first day of the year in the iranian calendar. of course many other countries will celebrate our roots as well. so people pay little or no attention to those speculations and that's the way it has always been. says it is that sajad the iranian ambassador to russia spoke like we'll be back shortly after a break so stay with us. wealthy

com. welcome back to froth like i'll be in over in just a reminder that my guest on the show today is that is that sajad be in wayne ambassador to russia you are excellent see we've started talking about the april round of negotiations out of iran and the group of six do you think a compromise is possible. well i think that he thought only of france and the p five plus one group were to observe international airing tremendous and moral principles in dealing with. a solution would be easy to find. but unfortunately in the past we have seen the western

nations international use the nuclear issue as a pretext for exerting pressure on iran. i will give you an example at some point the west made a proposition to iran suggesting that instead of producing our own three point five percent enriched uranium we could acquire twenty percent enriched uranium from them . and that was seen as a very promising confidence building measure with help from turkey and brazil we developed a direct solution in tehran and issued a declaration signaling our agreement. we considered such an exchange perfectly feasible and quite rational. however some ten days later we saw yet another anti uranium resolution adopted by the un security council did you also

there's therefore the past conduct of the west makes us doubt whether they indeed merely seek to address their own security concerns or whether they are still pursuing the same political agenda they have maintained toward iran put it past thirty years since these lawmaker evolution. if it is a matter of trust of which talking maybe maybe they can see allowing the inspections are the e.a.a. to to to visit the part of the choke on that something something that you haven't. even. did i all winter maybe this may be a test of trust that i just don't think that. you know yes the i.e. visited the porch inside twice in two thousand and five was the holy hanan and then deputy director general of the i.e.e.e.

a un announced at the time that the parching controversy was now history. so we suggested that we jointly develop a project called a certain framework for settling the remaining issues and then deal with them in a package. representatives came to around twice to deliberate with us on the framework. step one of the draft brought to call was a visit to porcine. but upon instructions from director general amano the i.a.e.a. envoys requested that they be admitted to the porch in the facility prior to signing the product. we found it similar to asking for an advance payment for a real estate with no purchase contract signed in that this is illogical you

have to sign a contract first and then as step one onto the contract the environmentally forward in advance payment. we offered the i.a.e.a. an opportunity to visit fortune while inspecting this c.d.o. from our you've gone where mr amano had claimed suspicious explosion in his report it's a board of governess. we said we would provide in i.e. a team with a plane visit mari yvonne and then subject just signing the product called we would make a fortune available for inspection. unfortunately instead of that we saw false statements and propaganda circulated alleging iran was denying access to parchin. i'd like to emphasize that this was initially a document proposed by the agency we have had our own but we really ought to

go with their proposal nevertheless following instructions from director general amano. go she refused to sign the product and went to vienna before it was even finalized. well this all sounds very diplomatic they're very political but well let's be commonsense listen. the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei he once said that a nuclear weapon is anti islamic and i think he really meant it as far as i understand islam in your part of the world the government of an islamic country could never do something that's against the will of well then why are you this question why can't you believe the world and make the world trust you what's what's

the problem i mean if you're going to do that why is this. i think that before we answer such a question the p five plus one member states should answer it to you. we have signed the nonproliferation truly. i.e. inspectors have spent a total of four thousand man hours touring various sites in iran we admitted that and we also installed and i cameras facilities in iran's political military and a religious leader. yours have stated officially that our defense doctrine does not provide for nuclear weapons. why is it that other nations who call themselves the international community do not trust us to get what more can a nation do. the reasoning prompted by the united states

is the same as telling a person you are admitted lee f. free man but since we have doubts about you why don't you stay in prison for a while. we know you have committed no crimes but we consider you suspicious so go and we'll see you later. that is how the west treats us they see we are suspicious. meanwhile both russian and western intelligence services have admitted they have no it in summer and alleged nuclear weapons project. all they arranged facility is that the i.a.e.a. had an ounce curious all relevant agencies have provided them access to. inspectors came on site with their equipment and soup samples if you produced your

aenima reached beyond a specific benchmark there will be detectable traces left for decades to come no such traces have been spotted in iran. therefore i believe it isn't iran who should answer that question. we have an impression when you clear it to be is merely political instrument in this case. you must have heard claims that the iranian government has no legitimacy and no support with the people. meanwhile we mark then any verse three of these let me crevel lucian on february eleventh this year and all across iran there were millions of people parading in the streets in celebration or who had a parliamentary election which ensured a very kind voter turnout. as you see the people of iran manifest their interest

and participation in governance through various modalities and yet the west keeps spinning bill lack of legitimacy in narratives the same goes for human rights. we could name a few nations today that are great friends with the united states and they have no elections whatsoever. we see countries invaded by foreign troops that suppress the local population just because every say u.s. military base over their. limit surety of local citizens the suppression and have their rights violated because there are american interests at stake. i think we're all being misled by the double standards and the trickery employed by the united states and its race for supremacist. you're

talking about these countries so countries one of these countries e.a.a. talking about can you name them oh yes i can name them it's the united states great britain and france. these are the three nations that pursue their political objectives while peddling them is the demands of the international. community goes through political pressure and lobbying they seek to use international institutions to impose their will on other countries you know you can see for yourself the crimes these three nations have committed in libya. forty thousand libyans were killed by airstrikes launched on the predicts of perception civilians they have accused him or more of khadafi of killing a total of four thousand people countering their rebellion but what about the forty thousand they've murdered themselves. in syria you can seen these

nations attempting to impose their will on a people similarly using international institutions as an instrument. i know this may sound speculation but still what do you think is the driving force behind israel's rule to go to war with iran and your nuclear program your military program or your support to hamas and hezbollah. what's the reason for it i actually think these rallies are perfectly aware that iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons even if we had nuclear warheads we would not be able to use them considering the manse nuclear arsenals held by the united states and britain and france and we believe israel's attitude stems from our and non-recognition of the zionist regime and its occupation of palestine. we consider israel to be

a racist state similar to the our part hyde regime in south africa as me and likewise it will also fall some jane because such regimes are essentially cancer or each in human nature. the launch of cold global development and justice spells oblivion for these really received. thank you thank you very much your excellency for being with us in just the reminded of my guest on the show today was and is that sajad the bastard to russia and that's it for that from all of us here if you have yourself talk like what if you want me to interview someone as i think you can always give me a call a jockey a line and i will look at our feet in the dark area and let's construct life interactive we'll be back with more friends don't comment on what's going on in and outside russia until then r.t.
