President: Iran will not give up nuclear right
Iran-European Union, Politics, 7/12/2006

Foreign ministers of the USA, France, Britain, Germany, Russia, as well as China deputy FM met today in Paris to consider the implementation process of a proposal being led by the Europeans offering Iran a package of incentives related to stopping of nuclear fuel making.

Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said today that Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani will wrap up his Europe visit and return home tonight and will speak to the nation on the outcome of his talks with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.

A quick response from Iran to a package of incentives before ambiguities therein are removed will bring destructive results, said Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mohammadi, who is currently in Beijing on an official visit. He said there is recognition by those opposed to Iran's nuclear development that "threats will have no desirable impact in resolving the nuclear issue."

Meantime, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad today said that Iran is willing to hold talks on its nuclear issue but that it will not give up its inalienable right to access nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Speaking in the provincial town of Shabestar, the chief executive said that Iran neither approves of tyranny nor does it ever tolerate bullying. "This is the logic of monotheists and worshipers of God Almighty, according to which we are bound to defend people's rights. Meanwhile, the Iranian nation will not give up its inalienable right." He said "We are prepared to talk about the nuclear issue, but will by no means negotiate our inalienable right with any party," he added. Ahmadinejad said that Iran is ready to negotiate and cooperate with the world community in all fields and underlined that talks should be held in a fair atmosphere.

"Today, the nation has been availed with a historical opportunity to construct Iran, which should be used properly to build up a powerful country. Owing to the vigilance and resistance of the nation, Iran is now one of the countries having access to nuclear cycle and will use it to develop the country," said the president.
