(NSI News Source Info) TEHRAN, Iran - September 7, 2009: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expresses the country's readiness to hold "fair and logical" talks with the five veto-wielding of the UN Security Council plus Germany. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad waves to the media as he arrives for a press conference at the presidency in Tehran, Iran, Monday, Sept. 7, 2009. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran is ready for talks with world powers over its nuclear program.
"If wise officials of certain Western countries and the United States are to make final decisions, we expect change of approaches, an issue which Iran welcomes," the president told a news conference on Monday.
"Although the Iranian nation will turn threats into unique opportunities, continuation of the current approaches will not be beneficial," he added. "We are ready to hold talks and exchange views in a correct direction to solve global challenges," Ahmadinejad said.
The president ruled out talks on nuclear rights of the Iranian nation, saying, "Iran will never negotiate on obvious rights of our people."
"From our view point our nuclear issue is finished," he added. "We will continue our work in the framework of global regulations and in close cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency," he stated.
Referring to Iran's plan to present its updated proposed nuclear package in view of last year's global developments to the Group 5+1, Ahmadinejad said, "Iran has prepared other packages on different issues which will be presented to other countries."
