/PanARMENIAN.Net/ President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad made his usual criticism of the existing world order and
international political institutions. Addressing the general debate in
the framework of the 64th session of UN General Assembly, the Iranian
leader said that "political and economic structures created after the
World War II and based on the desire to dominate the world, failed to
ensure justice and lasting security."
He described as "unacceptable" the situation when the UN and the
Security Council, whose decisions must represent all the countries and
governments through the most democratic methods of decision-making,
are subordinate to several governments and serve their interests".
Iran’s president criticized Israeli and the U.S. policies. In
particular, Ahmadinejad accused the "Zionist regime" in "inhumane
policies in Palestine," in usage of "force and coercion," in denial of
Palestinians’ legitimate right to self-defense. "
Ahmadinejad accused the U.S. in military intervention in the affairs
of other states under the pretext of combating terrorism or drug
trafficking, citing as an example the situation in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
According to him, these actions resulted in "abounding the illegal
manufacture of drugs, increased terrorism, thousands of people killed,
infrastructure destroyed, severely affected regional security." "Those
who created the current disastrous situation, continue to blame
others," he said, the press service of the UN reports.
