Bilateral Relations: Ahmadinejad praises Chavez for "revolutionary stands towards Iran"

SOURCE: IRNA – IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Monday appreciated Venezuelan government’s revolutionary stands towards Iran in a written message to President Hugo Chavez.

According to the official website of the President’s Office, Ahmadinejad has in the letter appreciated Caracas’ stands regarding the recent anti-Iranian UNSC resolution, reiterating, “The Islamic Republic of Iran’s government and nation are resisting firmly against the bullying and pressures of the global arrogance.”

The UN Security Council and atop it the US and its western allies, says President Ahamdinejad, are totally opposed to the success and advancement of the independent countries and nations, as President Chavez, too, has said, creating obstacles in the way of their growth and progress.
Ahmadinejad has also referred to the Iran-Turkey-Brazil trilateral Tehran declaration, as a sign of Tehran’s good will, which faced “The efforts made by the Security Council, led by the United States, a few European countries, and some permanent and non-permanent UNSC member states to issue a resolution, of course non-unanimously, against Iran.”

President Ahamdinejad has expressed hope that the structure of the United Nations would be drastically changed relying on cooperation and intensive consultations among various countries, particularly the oppressed and subjugated ones, in accordance with the real needs of the nations and the justice seeking efforts of the entire justice lovers and oppressed of the world.

The UN impotence in dealing effectively with the human catastrophes in such places as Gaza is contrasted with the highly politicized UNSC resolutions against Iran, under the US pressure in the letter, singling out the ineffective reaction of that world body towards the massacre of the world peace activists in International Peace Flotilla heading for the highly oppressed people of Gaza, carrying most needed basic necessities for the for remaining alive.
