Tehran, YJC. Hashemi says the time for colonialism is over and the West must start to value nations’ opinions.
"The US government has proven perjurious by words and by deeds,” asserted Hashemi Rafsanjani, urging the West to respect nations’ opinions as the time for colonialism is over.
The Head of Iran’s Expediency
Discernment Council who was speaking to the former Italian Prime Minister Massimo
D'Alema in Tehran pointed to Iran’s good history in abiding by international
commitments and said "Nations seeing their leaders make agreements, expect them
to avoid perjury and incongruity in words and deeds, something committed by American
authorities.”
Hashemi maintained that the political
durability of China, Russia, the US, and EU is bound to keeping respect for other
nations, asserting "The colonial times are over while nations, and even many
governments such as the Islamic Republic, have woken up.”
Ayatollah Rafsanjani said that irresponsible
Western behavior has created situations like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria
and stated "Hurriedness in occupying countries and disregard to the human
objectives in overthrowing dictators, as well as lack of agenda for
post-occupation times have deepened people’s fear of terrorists and paved the
way for extremist groups.”
He stressed that the first condition
for any political talk or behavior is honesty and said "Technology and weapons
do not bring power. The leaders of big countries have to accept the fact that
the public will of regional nations does not stand Zionists. You can see how
their lobby tries to muddy the global vibe of cooperation again.”
Massimo D'Alema in turn pointed to
his overseen organization, the Foundation for European Progressive Studies, and
said "Our responsibility is to enquire into the future Europe, and we know that
a good perspective for Europe lies in cooperation with other countries of the
world, including Iran.”
Pointing to Iran’s political
achievements he said "There are many who do not like Iran’s potentials to turn
into realities. But the wise of Europe are not amongst them. They rather
consider themselves as Iran’s principal partner in the progress toward science
and economic blossoming.”
D’Alema also provided comments on the
Geneva agreement, its political results for the 5+1 countries, as well as its
6-month perspective and said "It is a pity that some governments have violated
the agreements under extremist pressure. We consider the Council of Europe’s
decisions yesterday as constructive so that mutual trust will lay the ground
for future negotiations.”
