29/01/2010 Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday that imperialist powers are trying to seize control over the energy resources of the Middle East. Addressing a group of officials in Tehran, President Ahmadinejad said that Iran, together with other freedom-loving countries in the region, will never allow imperialism to succeed.
“They (imperialist powers) seek to dominate energy resources of the Middle East, but the Iranian nation as well as other nations will not allow them succeed,” he emphasized. The President also reiterated that the Iranian nation is making a lot of progress and the enemies are confused about it.
President Ahmadinejad said the Iranian people will foil enemy plots against the country by massively turning out for this year's events celebrating the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He added that the nation's participation in the nationwide rallies commemorating the Islamic Revolution will be a show of solidarity.
The president fiercely criticized the ban imposed by some western countries on wearing the Islamic headdress, the Hijab, as well as minarets.
President Ahamidnejad's comments came in response to the imposition of a constitutional ban on minarets in Switzerland in late November and fresh efforts by French politicians to impose a ban on wearing of the Hijab by Muslim women in the country.
