TEHRAN (IRNA) -- President Mahmud Ahmadinejad here Wednesday referred to the insistence of the U.S. and West on suspension of enrichment by Iran, even for a short time, as propaganda.

The chief executive made the remark while speaking at the 4th conference on forerunners of Jihad and martyrdom.

Turning to the fact that enemies are against development and progress of the Iranian nation, he said that such opposition to Iran's access to nuclear technology is a pretext for disruption of Iran's advancement.

He referred to Iran-West nuclear talks over the past two years and said that the enemies called for suspension of Iran's nuclear activities from the beginning.

"Once they faced our refusal, they launched psychological warfare and threatened Iran with a military option.

"The resistance of the Iranian nation to their bullying and greed was followed by their proposal for a three-month and even apparent suspension to facilitate talks on the issue," said the president.

Ahmadinejad said that they intend to make instrumental use of the issue and tell the world that they forced Iran into suspension, adding that they are mistaken, given that the Iranian nation will not give up its right.

The president referred to the threats of the U.S. and West against Iran as abuse of international tools by them and said the they actually misuse the world monetary and financial system as well as international bodies, such as the United Nations, as bullying tools.

"The world's free nations will no more undergo bullying. If the world powers continue to misuse international institutions, these countries will think of establishment of new organizations which can restore their rights," he added. Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad referred to negotiations as the best way for solving the country's nuclear issue and said, "Iran's path is quite clear, the nation's right is inalienable and Iranians will make optimum use of all capacities."

The president said that the enemies intend to sow discord among Iranian people and claim that they managed to overcome their resistance, adding that hopefully such a day will never come.

The fourth conference on forerunners of Jihad and martyrdom was held at Tehran's Vali Asr Mosque. The event was attended by the president, vice-president and head of Martyrs Foundation Organization, Expediency Council chairman, Police commander and a number of commanders of Armed Forces, Islamic Revolution's Guards Corp and Basij.
