proudly remembered it was his ambition realized and was it worth the sacrifice is his country made for the status of a nuclear state and his own voice in the face of powerful players was ahmadinejad's truly the choice and the voice of his people or a puppet in the hands of the clerics have his wishes come true as he reached the destination he says now for iran's power is going prisons mahmoud ahmadinejad's. talks to aussie mr ahmadinejad's your presidency is coming to an end after eight years of your rule iran finds itself in great economic difficulty it is also isolated geopolitically what would you say are your presidencies main achievements . divorce is facing economic recession and. to care and economic crisis is an international ones and it has adversely affect all the

countries also iran let's not forget that iran has been under a unilateral one sided unfair sanctions and this has been on president it so severe. and despite a due to problems i just told you we have made a lot of economic advancements nothing short of a miracle of course we have problems just like everywhere else in the world. but scientifically iran was ranked thirty second now we want is rank fourteenth. in terms of scientific progress. also speed and a pace of scientific growth is eleven times more than the average in the words. this means that we are moving forward very fast in the last eight years iran became one today space iran launch iran. manufacture

a satellite and launched into orbit iran became a nuclear power in nanotechnology in biotechnology a lot of advancements significant once it's been in and in many fields related to technology we are among the top ten in the world and these are all huge significant advancements which have occurred in the country and under my presidency in the last eight years regarding iran's geopolitical position. why do you say that iran is isolated are we isolated isolated from what. the western governments from the beginning of the victory of this revolution have opposed to us. they never. ever wanted to have interactions and cooperation with us they're doing the same thing after thirty four years we had

a great victory because before the revolution they've are dominating our minds our oil but now. they cannot do this there is no domination by that therefore they are angry with us but now we have solved their strongest ties with the rest of the world that we are we are now the war's seventeenth largest economy. but before that before my presidency we were twenty second this is the twenty second largest economy of divorce and in the next three years we will be the fifteen second to me of the work more important than everything. is that. iran has become more influential on the international arena. if we are isolated. why is there. that there is all this propaganda against if you're in significance. why are they going into a lot of trouble. because they're doing this because we are influential because

you're affecting our viewers that is why they are putting pressure on us iran is like a culture. persian persia it's like a contrary dating back thirty thousand years iran is is a popular name around the world and monks in nations yes there are several countries that are against us they don't they don't want to recognize the rights of the iranian nation yes of course. mr rouhani is the newly elected president or you know him personally what do you think of him. he is the president elect of iran is his 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 wasn't 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. you know i hadn't said it before that i'm going to contest it or 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 were the first president who didn't come by the help of the ruling elite and you position your presidency as independent from the clerics eight years later how do you see the clerics now. that you see these are some historical religious social matters and issues in iran very complicated ones. iran is the iran. people of iran are cultured people. dating back seven thousand years their 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 we are going to maintain our restoring ties with the masses of the people is this is a thaw this is my thought that this is going to continue. to clear extent iran. are not like one classification one distinct classification of the society or just like other people. to have different views different inclined nations i mean. it is not like this that the clerics are like was distinct classification of people one party in iran. many clerics. who are trolls my governments there are supporters of my government. would you say you were able to do everything you wanted in the say or in this

seriously you pushed your policy and you didn't have any obstacles from the clergy . which is no no 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 a mentor is this constitution or is this parliament or difference of political groups is this public culture a social system in place yes maybe somebody has some wishes and he cannot fulfill them in eight years. yes we have great expectations that everybody has a good great wishes but can we hope that they can all be fulfilled and they can all come true. of course not. because it's a material word for some obstacles you the conditions should be provided yes i do believe that. i have achieved greatness great success in its in achieving my

wishes and my dearest has made some opposition because this a free society people express their views and their minds. yes the way i do things has been different from others yes naturally i have been a post 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. to you know the principle of dialogue it's good in principle to be talking having dialogue is the best way to resolve differences. and nobody can be opposed to dialogue yes we said from the get go that we are supposed to but under what circumstances. if somebody.

comes to you and holds a hammer over your head and tells you forces you to have a daughter a large then that that is not right we have dialogue is 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 are times are ready to have a dialogue with the u.s. . but other side was not ready only there are times when there were claiming that they were going to have a child with us because but to contend dishes very not. right for us it was you. we didn't accept it but i think ultimately we have no choice but to have a look you know the latest n.s.a. leaks by edward snowden revealed that iran was under the heaviest electronic

controls by the united states did you know that. this is the words of communications when you get connected to internet vendor is the sad. to 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. right now. i do think that we are being blocked displacement barque maybe it is maybe. it is not difficult to do to take any contra measures defensive measures. yes naturally. there is this i would call it soft war going on into virtual work yes. these are doing this if it is necessary we have we have been attacked. our electronic communications networks have been attacked and no clear network was

attacked but they diffused. counterattack to our banking system has been under attack. we defended ourselves. vital networks electricity water networks have been attacked yes it has become second nature to us this is something for us yes. the disadvantages of technology coming cations sometimes cyber attacks we're going to take a short break coming up next saying syria. if the main competitor on the market is mother nature. may customers

struggle with to. fight for each crop from an old turkey supplier. let people think i are prices pure or want to. live on t.v. . they use it up there and wash their hands in it and flush their toilets with the same water that mr aris is selling and spraying water. sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like you think you understand it and then he limps something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything is ok you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

little bit. of. little. i live i. speak. of. i wish i. could live a good bill. but i'm a fairly. wealthy

british it's not. like i don't go out of. the. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy. for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports. welcome back to sophie and co the revolutions that swept the arab world seemed so implausible but the fact that those leaders like well barack ben ali qaddafi where

were thrown how safe do the ruling elite in iran feel we'll talk to the outgoing president obiang mahmoud ahmadinejad from the beginning i just relieved that the people of those countries that he just really don't are like just like. the rest of the people in the work they want to have a better life. they want to have better tools yes knife conditions after freedom and justice they want to vote for the happiness that he has that they want and they were looking for an opportunity to change the situation it would be sort of it's we'll see it but it was like it's i mean it's happened so fast. and our country it should be i think that yes i think that this was not really natural i think there was a kind. it was. there was a kind of manage with it these are illusions are managed just that is something i don't want to get into this issue of the situation because neither of these

countries have achieved yet achieved stability and peace we hope that they will ultimately but we said that what about in iraq is no longer should feel safe nor nover in the world not just in illinois question because we shifted the human society and this is community special are moving forward they want to achieve perfection when you share it with their demands have not been fulfilled when you show me a city in which to people are bridge one hundred satisfy us that they say something like we are just the life that we're living is ideal we don't want this we just think you know i think he humanity is it has a long way to go can't can you can give me an example of a place where justice is that esther fully know couldn't do it that's what you really want the left to call with character governments say that it has with. their

plan of justice in this society can go can any government say that it has to stay true to all the rights of the people of the messiah so no ruler should feel safe again she bestowed on less that we will not go on this he cares about this really respects the rights of the people i'm not saying that mistakes are not made that yes maybe there might be some rebellious one just want to show you that everybody should be careful. so what do you should try to listen to the people to to stay true to justice and the holy this is something that this is something universal which guess is this that nobody's are exempted from this. i want to ask you about syria i know you don't like the work isolated to play. but many believe that one of the main reasons why the west is so off to assad is because the ultimate target is you and iran to isolate you because he is your ally in the

region. if this is true the. issue of syria is very complicated. and you should be in the facilities you see i mean that's where we say syria and israel comes to our mind immediately dissed to our so into related. 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 the freedom to see justice. limited to a bit of the show that everybody should have the riot. free choice they should be able to shoot. in lex's routers themselves this is that you look at the most basic principle i don't just to reel him in syria the same thing should happen. to are two things the two methods or should not change or suit one is militarism or the method the more. innocent want to come to power militarily

i think that is wrong we have a good think that is wrong but during the good anybody who comes to power should militarily jangle good tech means that he approves of the wars of armed conflicts especially in the. military if it were one trees english there are different ethnic groups or different clans to get at it or is another method that is national. reconciliation everybody but you are wrong there should be free election people who choose their destiny and everybody who is allegedly respected by everyone i think it is a second method works and is the right one for every voter especially for serious. yes i do agree we just said somehow the west. don't want the syrian issue to come true and it's. the food or

the village person. first the continuation of this crisis is in their favor is in the favor of the zionist regime has provided designers with a historic opportunity. yes it's come to this for twenty years that they are. going to have for twenty years but before that they felt that there are other pressures so they say that in egypt and libya in syria there are conflicts in all the regional centers so nobody is paying attention to them so they can rest in peace which is the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to spread out to the neighboring countries to iraq to lebanon to turkey we will do because they want to affect the whole region after a new middle east they want to do this through. 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. largest with iran is going to have two hundred warheads that's what he says yes. this is something that i've said many times before it's not of any use to us to have nukes can be carried. use it i mean nuclear weapons they're useless that anybody can do think anybody can use it to push the us has most of the nukes in the word can if used this river

continues its. job it was the man has to really change human society. at large or well over at this one that doesn't have to look on the craters so twentieth century even not 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 used conventional. issues it has never used chemicals watch this iran is still defending itself if it is mostly a political cultural defense we don't need any nuclear weapon just. to run is not a country that has been fabricated or has been created which on the map no

it was not like he said there were some people who had rulers and there has they went to the map and they put some lines on it as i said earlier this is iran. actually but it's cannot be said about design it's regime you know nobody watches russia it was on russia thousands of years for sure we are rooted in these territories so we don't need just such recognition as there are some other. fabricated regimes just favor the occupy some other territories and they just change the names. and the people there are feeling secure because they don't belong here they have come from other places yes those. nuclear weapons not i remember that i was having this conversation access to mr putin in. in order to dismantle all the nuclear weapons in the world to eliminate russia does not want to have such weapons i know that. it's natural why should it.

but because. it is. defense in defending ourselves against a zionist we don't need such weapons which. i think. are. wise rational people in the us who would not allow the zionist regime to do such a stupid think. nuclear facilities are not going to go away with bombardments. they are in the heads of scientists we have. localized that. iran is a one million. square kilometers. so. everybody. this is psychological work of course we all ready to defend ourselves.
