Iran's President : Bullying powers, world's greatest liars

Tehran, June 30, IRNA – Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday evening that those who want to establish global peace through bullying and unilateralism are the greatest liars throughout the history.

He made the remarks while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the International Exhibition of Messengers of Peace, stressing that peace is born from love and friendship not from war and hatred.

He reiterated that those who have deposited millions of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons cannot be considered as advocates of peace.

Expressing his pleasure over the presence of peace envoys from Vietnam, Japan, Belgium and Iraq in the ceremony, he said these countries are the real peace lovers who themselves have been victims of chemical and biological weapons.

President Ahmadinejad further paid homage to victims of weapons of mass destruction across the world.

During the ceremony, the President was presented the Sculpture of Peace and Justice.

June 29 is dubbed as the National Day of Campaign against Use of Chemical and Microbiological Weapons in Iran. It coincides with the anniversary of chemical attacks by Iraq's Saddam regime against the Iranian city of Sardasht.

A number of Vietnamese war veterans who fought against the US invasion of their country, survivors of Hiroshima atomic attack, survivors of chemical attack against Halabche and a number of people inflicted by chemical weapons used against the city of Sardasht were also present in the ceremony./end
