Mottaki: All should enjoy peaceful nuclear energy
Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki in an exclusive interview with EuroNews TV on Tuesday said “Our slogan is very clear: nuclear energy for everybody and nuclear weapons for nobody.”
“We believe that it is among legitimate rights of all nations across the globe as well as members of the UN to enjoy such a right,” he said.
Iran is not to talk on this right any longer, he said.
On Iran’s plan to resume talks with the group 5+1, he said, Iran is going to update its previous package, which it offered last year. Since last year, the world (is) faced with several developments: the monetary and economic crisis in the world as well as changes in some administrations.
This means that Iran’s new proposal should focus on these changes, Mottaki said.
"Do you think that the speeches made by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are useful in a world where also Iran is trying to negotiate and to be more open, especially, as you have said with a new American administration, that seems to be more open than the previous ones vis-à-vis your country?, asked Euro News.

You are trying diplomatically to make some links between these two questions, it is not necessary. Even nowadays in the USA some different groups are taking this position: “Why should we link all our interests, I mean American interests, to the interests of Israel,” Mottaki said.
On the existing crisis in the Middle East, the Iranian foreign minister said “We should find the root cause of the crisis in the region and that is the legitimacy of this regime in the region, how it is established; the land (Palestine) was not without people, because the Palestinians, Muslims, Christians and Jews were living there and these people in Europe were not the people without land, they were the citizens of European countries, of different European countries, they were living here.
On regional conflict, Mottaki said “We are talking about a problem, about a crisis, which is a reality in the region and nobody could solve this problem. We are explaining why they could not solve this problem. We are not a part of the problem. We in our region always have been a part of the solution, according to Iraq, according to Lebanon, according to Afghanistan.”
On Iraq’s development, he said Iran has always backed political developments in Iraq.
“We have some responsibility in that region, since last six, seven years we have been an important part of support for political development in Iraq, institutionalisation of different parts of the body of the government in Iraq, parliament and everything. We support this process,” he said.
On US policy of stick and carrot, Mottaki said that such policies have produced no results in the past.
On possibility of an embargo on petrol coming from the West, he said, "If they decide to take such action they will see our reaction in due course,” said Mottaki.
