Iran right to link talks with disarming Israel’s nukes
Iran right to link talks with disarming Israel’s nukes
London, June 30, IRNA – An independent British parliamentary candidate has said that Iran is right to link talks with world powers over its nuclear program with disarming Israel’s illegal arsenal of up to 400 nuclear warheads.
“Those who want to see a nuclear free zone in the Middle East as contribution to the elimination of nuclear weapons globally will support President(Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad in his decision to link future negotiations on Israelis nuclear arsenal,” Sam Akaki said.
Akaki, who served as a parliamentary officer for the last 10 years including attending UN conferences on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, also believed that the talks on Iran’s nuclear file should build on the historic Tehran Declaration.
“Turkey and Brazil have agreed to receive Iran’s uranium (and) should be allowed to be part of any future negotiations as a confidence-building measure,” Akaki said in a recent interview with IRNA.
He added that expanding talks to involve more countries, building on the Tehran agreement reached with Turkey and Brazil on fuel exchange and clarifying the world power’s position on Israel’s nuclear weapons were among the proposal made Monday night by President Ahmadinejad on the resumption of nuclear talks with the West.
Akaki, who met and exchanged views with UN’s former weapons inspector in Iraq Hans Blix, said that nuclear issues would “only be achieved through negotiations that recognise everyone’s concerns, but not threats and sanctions against selective countries.”
On Afghanistan, he said that the sacking of General Stanley McCrystal by US President Barack Obama, calls for the withdrawal of troops and for talks with the Taliban were “a belated but welcome recognition of what I and many anti-war campaigners have always said that the war in Afghanistan was unwinnable.”
"The loss of nine British soldiers in one week will bring the message home and add credence to those who have said that Afghanistan could become another Vietnam,” Akaki said.
The candidare also founded the Black Graduates & Professional Network in London.
“What I and many anti-war voices detest most is the fact that many of the British and Afghan casualties are very young people and children,” he said, calling for an end to the war and peace negotiations before more were killed.
“In any event, the UK and the rest of the world cannot afford to waste billions in unwinable war while the world is facing the worst economic crisis since the 1930s’ depression,” he warned.
Akaki, who was born in Uganda, unsuccessfully stood as an independent candidate at Britain’s general election last month.
He came to the UK in 1980s and was given a political refugee status upon arrival because of his then-high profile position as a chief flight instructor at a UN-assisted civil aviation development project project in his homeland.
His father had died in the Second World War when he was fighting alongside the British army as part of the Kings African Rifles (KAR), a fact that makes him uncompromisingly opposed to wars."/end
