three year twelve million iranians travel abroad. if so this shows our interactions this proves that we have interactions we have sustainable lasting scientific relations with more than one hundred countries of the world. yes there are a couple of governments in the world they think that they are the whole word raft of them they call themselves the international community. and so they are under the impression that if you want doesn't have a relationship with them then iran does not have a relationship with the rest of the world no that's not true. but we believe that all the seventy million people living on the planet earth are all equal. they have they should enjoy equal rights they should all be respected more than two hundred countries in the war they should all be respected. and we have relations with the

vast majority of the bit of africa latin american countries. that that language that you're using those countries that is not going to affect our relations with other countries but in principle. we have problems. we have. problems with the way that they're running the world that. we don't we don't accept the method that you're following last year. if there was. not online movement summit in turn her on. to turn out the participation was president it's the biggest in the history of nonaligned movement and it was it held in tehran of course the documents. produced the views off for the war should be iran they all contributed to the

success of the tehran summit. yes we are opposed to the way you're running towards managed the way they are managing the already yes you have said this was so firstly we don't want to have any quarrel with anybody we don't want to start war with anybody but. we are against their ways because they're just they just want to serve their own interests pulling. their military might you know we have said it loud and clear we are against this and we do believe that the vast majority of the nations in the word are with us agree with us. mr rouhani is the newly elected president all around you know him personally what do you think of him. who is he is the president elect of iran his is respected by everyone and everybody will help him. so that he will be successful in managing the first of the country if the candidate

you were supporting was disqualified from the presidential race do you think the outcome of the elections would be different. that's definitely. why didn't you contest like you said you would his disqualification. two years ago no i hadn't said it before that i'm going to contest it or as to objects to it yes there is a law and i just obey the law. i remember when you came to power you really came. by the help of the masses you are the first president who didn't come by the help of the ruling elite and you positioned your presidency independent from the clerics eight years later how do you see the clerics now. that you see these are some historical or religious social matters and issues in

iraq a very complicated one. iran is iran the. people of iran a culture of people. dating back seven thousand years civilization runs deep in history yes and because of that iran is very complicated socially and politically. my team will continue to be at the service of the people in the country and if. we are going to maintain our scientologist or the masses of the people. this is a thought this is my fault that this is going to continue. yet the clerics in iran. are not like one classification one distinct classification of the society just like other people. have different views they are different inclined nations i mean. it is not like this that the clerics are one is it

distinct classification of people of one party in iran. many clerics. who are my government supporters of my government. would you say you were able to do everything you wanted in this year in this years when you pushed your policy and you didn't have any obstacles from the clergy. and . you cannot find anybody who can do whatever he wishes to because we have to act within a framework. in russia can mr putin do anything he likes. there is this constitution or is this parliament different political groups serious public culture a social system in place and yes maybe somebody has some wishes and they cannot fulfill their main eight years. we have great expectations that everybody has

good wishes but hope that they can all be fulfilled and they can all come true of course. material work or some obstacles you the conditions should be provided. i do believe. i have achieved greatness great success and it's in achieving my wishes my dream has been some opposition because this is a free society people express their views and their mind. with us the way i do things has been different from yes naturally i have been opposed. mr president why do you think iran never had direct dialogue with the united states in eight years because there were attempts from the from the u.s. side.

if you know the principle of it's good in principle to be that is we're talking having dialogue is the best way to resolve differences because it is the world that nobody can be opposed to dialogue yes we said from the get go. but under what circumstances. if somebody. comes to you and holds a hammer over your head and tells you forces you to have a dog a large tent that that is not right we have. to try to gain understanding is to resolve differences and it is not should not be used as a method to impose on others it should be it should happen under fair and just circumstances yes there were times when i really ready to have

a dialogue with the u.s. but of on the. other side was not really only there are other times when they were claiming that they were going to have it with us because but conditions are not. right for us and it was you know natural so we didn't accept it but all in all i think dialogue is a good thing and ultimately we have no other choice but to have a dialogue. you know the latest n.s.a. leaks by edward snowden reveal actually that iran was under the heaviest electronic controls by the united states did you know about that. last night show this is the word of communications when you get connected to internet venture is the satellite. communication networks yes there are going to be. problems like that but i don't think it is it was as heavy as they claim it was

i mean almost as if it was but we are now speaking to each other right now how many . do you think that we are being blocked displaced is being barred maybe it is the maybe we are being blocked it is not difficult to do to take any countermeasures defensive measures. i believe is yes naturally. serious there is this i would call it soft work war going on in the virtual work yes our agencies are doing this if it is necessary and well if we have we have been attacked. or electronic and come occasions networks have been attacked is our nuclear network was attacked but they defused it's actually a counterattack to our banking system has been under attack. that we defended ourselves. vital networks electricity water networks have been attacked yes it has become second nature to us it is something rooting for us. to harm the

disadvantages of technology. communications this is. sometimes cyber attacks are. the revolutions that have swept the arab countries they just seem so implausible but yet we have leaders like mubarak ben ali qaddafi they were ousted no one thought that would happen how safe does the ruling elite feel in iran. if. we have to look into this are two different levels of what is the level that is going on in those countries. well yes. from the beginning i believe that the people of those countries. that. are liked just like. the rest of the people in the word they want to have

a better life. they want a better. life conditions they are after freedom and justice they want to work for the happiness they want they were looking for an opportunity to change the situation. but it was like it or may know it happened so fast and our country is i think that it had yeah and i think that this was not really that natural i think there was a kind of it was. there was a kind of management these are allusions very managed that is something i don't want to get into it was just because neither of these countries have achieved have yet achieved stability and peace we hope that they will ultimately but you said that what about in iran the ruler should feel safe no nover in the world not just in iraq because of the human society

communities are moving forward they want to achieve perfection which. demands have not been fulfilled can you show me a city people are one hundred satisfied. they say something like we are just the life that we are living is ideal we don't want nothing else no i think he. has a long way to go can you can you give me an example of a place where justice is administering fully no. government say that it has been able to implement justice in this society can go. enemy governments say that it has to stay true to all the rights of the people let me give you an example half a million or. seven billion people. on the planet earth.

the people. who are active provenance and the politicians how many of them are there. it's. one hundred thousand people maybe. and governments come and go as your exchange between those one hundred thousand people so what about the rest of the population of the world which is. seven billion people very in the world can we say that rice of the people are respected completely are pressures there are some imperfect legislations ever interviewed so no ruler should feel safe. on less. he cares about respects the rights of the people and has a head of the people. and when he is lagging behind the people are going to overtake him especially today in this world a lot of borders have been removed

a lot of foundries now i'm talking to you. you don't walk i don't feel as if i'm different from you because i'm an iranian i your russian maybe twenty years ago. there was such a distinction we felt so strongly about our nationalities but now we are talking about from the viewpoint of humanity orders are being removed people are coming together and closer to people of thinking global and universal people thinking about other things justice lawn the full field historical wishes of mankind and everything is evolving so fast people are moving towards justice any rule or any government. if. it's so to it that they are going to lag behind the people. in iran is no exception the u.s. is no exception. same thing. no exceptions.

but god has promised that or of justice and if it happens then. he wanted to be happy i think people are now which event and wide awake. they want to. they want to have they want. rice to be fulfilled i'm not saying mistakes are not mates yes maybe there might be some rebellion just want everybody should be careful if everybody should try to listen to the people to stay true to justice this is something that it is something universal. is nobody's except. exempted from this. do you think the muslim brotherhood will hold on to power in egypt. you know. brotherhood is a historical karen's movement it's

a way of fame came this. and it is going to remain in power on this something else and it is superior to this way of thinking it is not going to be eliminated completely. with your fingers that kerry said that the president coming from prada who is going to be the president of the it's a forever no i don't think so i want to ask you about let me you know. i think human societies are changing i mean each it's not like this we cannot have. you cannot cannot manage a country with only one party with only one way of thinking i think that humanity's past has past this. is what one hundred million people to a different views a difference of opinion in that country you can rule with only one

single method you have to listen to all the people so that everybody feels that. he's included in the policy making. yes. they should try to work on the commonality is if we limit ourselves then we will not be successful in telling you that in the next five or six years. places that will be run this way limited to a. narrow mindedness that they are going to change revolutions including the us. i want to ask you about syria i know you don't like the word isolated politically but many believe that one of the main reasons why the west is so after assad is because the ultimate target is you and iran to isolate you because he is your ally in the region. a

short artificial. issue of syria is very complicated. i mean very serious syria and israel comes to mind immediately this two are so interrelated. i mean you have to look into syria in a historical context of course you have said it before that it is the right of every nation to enjoy freedom they cannot see justice. i mean. everybody should have the right have free choice they should be able to choose. electors rulers themselves this is the most basic principle. in syria the same thing should happen. to thinks the two methods which are now being pursued one is militarism or the method of war. who

want to come to power militarily i think that is wrong we think that is wrong anybody who comes to power militarily. we know that he approves of war of armed conflicts especially in. countries in which to our different ethnic groups or different clans. there is a method that is national. reconciliation everybody should there should be free election people choose their descendants everybody who is elected should be respected by what everyone we think the second method works and is the right one for every especially for syria. yes i do agree with what she's said somehow to westerners don't want the

syrian issue to come to an end. who. are in the pursuing to object to first the continuation of this crisis is in their favor it is in the favor of the zionist regime has provided design it's pretty historical opportunity. yes if it continues for twenty years that they are. going to have peace for twenty years before. they felt that they were under pressure so they say that in egypt in libya in syria that are conflicts in all the regional countries so nobody is paying attention to them so they can rest in peace . the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to a spread out to the neighboring countries to iraq to lebanon to turkey because they want to affect the whole region after a new middle east and they want to do this through developing this

crisis so i don't think that they want the syrian problem to come to an end swiftly they wanted to continue. to questions and one because we're running out of time. do you believe the israeli rhetoric is just rhetoric or they're going to actually hit the iranian nuclear facilities and also do you believe they have a proof that israel has nuclear weapons because netanyahu is certainly things that iran will have two hundred. years iran is going to have two hundred warheads i mean. this is something that i've said many times before it is not of any use to us to have nukes to. use it i mean nuclear weapons they're useless

anybody can do you think anybody can use it the u.s. has most of the nukes in the word can if used. to use it. human society. which are over at this one. it is so twentieth century even the people of the us are going to allow the government to make use of that it is the most brutal most inhuman weapon that can be used against others. iran throughout history has always been a defender. and has always use conventional weapons. it has never used chemical weapons iran is is still defending itself it is mostly a political. cultural defense we don't need any nuclear

weapons. iran is not a country that has been fabricated or has been created on the map no it was not like they said there were some people who had rulers in their hand they went to the map and they put some lines on it and they said that he had this is iran. and. it cannot be said about the zionist regime you know. russia iran russia thousands of years we are rooted in these territories so we don't need such recognition as there are some other ones fabricated regimes favor to occupy some other territories and they just change the name. and the people there are feeling secure because they don't belong here they have come from other places yes those. nuclear weapons not remember that i was having this conversation mr putin in china in order to dismantle all the

nuclear weapons in the world to eliminate and russia does not want to have such weapons i know that. yes it's natural why should it have possessed such. but because auditors have some might want to have them. defense in defending ourselves against zionists we don't need such weapons. i think there are enough wise rational people in the us who would not design his regime to do such a stupid think. and nuclear facilities are not going to go away with bombardments. they are in the heads of our so scientists we have it is we have localized it. with.

iran one million eight hundred seventy three thousand kilometer is a square kilometers the vastness so are they going to everybody. this is psychological of course we are ready to defend ourselves. mr president thank you very much for this interview with r.t. . and every one of you there we have an exclusive live interview here on the program with iran's outgoing president mahmoud ahmadinejad he was talking just now to. say if you missed that live interview you can catch her program sophie cope at twenty thirty g.m.t. . real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this

directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker see it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this list. the civilized world produces more food than it needs. while people die of hunger in

other countries. millions of victims every. where a meal is the most value treasure. was. his flood or droughts to blame. and it was a bad year for the train. they couldn't climb anything but the one who would be there was great hunger. always a good help comes too late and without good intentions. charity diplomacy and business on alt. i've. interviewed.
