President says Iran to continue nuclear activity under IAEA eye
Ahmadinejad, who was on a tour of Malaysia, accused international bodies of bias.
"Regrettably most international organizations have turned into political organizations and the influence of great powers prevents them from taking fair and legally sound decisions," Ahmadinejad said in a speech.
"The IAEA's (International Atomic Energy Agency's) treatment of the Islamic Republic of Iran is politically motivated."
Iran wanted the talks but would not accept anything that was forced upon it, the Iranian president said. "Domination and bullying will not last much longer. Bullies and Zionists beware -- you are going to fall," he said.
"This awakening is on the increase and its signs can be seen all around the world."
"We never seek a fight, we believe in dialogue," said Ahmadinejad.
"If some parties want to ... impose something on my nation, experience tells me and them that the Iranian nation will make them sorry.
"We are ready to talk and cooperate with everyone, with one exception, which is the Zionist regime," he said.
Iran is pursuing nuclear programs purely for civilian use.
Ahmadinejad also said Thursday that Tehran was determined to acquire nuclear technology and would refuse to negotiate over its "inalienable rights".
"We will continue on this present road in a calm way and within the laws," he said.
"We believe it is the right of all countries to enjoy nuclear fuel and nuclear technology."
"We are ready to negotiate on different things but having said that we are not open to negotiating on our inalienable rights," he told a press conference.
The Iranian leader said that history would regard the perceived Iranian threat as "a joke" but that the "road to negotiation continues to be open".
"If there are parties which have clear proposals, proposals which do not damage the path that my nation has chosen and our interest, and also complements what we have already achieved, we are ready to consider those as well," he said.
The president said that Tehran had provided "the highest level of cooperation" to international agencies.
"Negotiations must be conducted in a fair and balanced manner," he said.
"My nation has chosen its path. We do not want to pick a fight with any country but we are very capable of defending our rights and securing our national interests."
"The positions of my country are quite clear. Our activities will continue in the context and the framework of the agency and the NPT," Ahmadinejad said, in a reference to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which Iran is a signatory.
Speaking through an interpreter after a meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in Malaysia's administrative capital Putrajaya, Ahmadinejad said the road for negotiations remained open.
"We are ready to negotiate on different things," he added.
But he wanted the talks to be fair.
"Negotiations must be conducted in a fair and balanced manner. The time when a party or power would impose its views on others and deal with others from a position of power is past."
