Speaking to state television, Mr Ahmadinejad declared: “Once our trade with the Europe was around 90 percent but now it has reached to 10 percent and we are not seeking this 10 percent… experience has shown that Iranian nation will not be hurt, For the past 30 years the Americans have not been buying oil from us. Our central bank has no relations with you,” he added.

Mr Ahmadinejad however reiterated that the Islamic republic is ready to sit down with world powers for talks on its nuclear programme.

“They have this excuse that Iran is dodging negotiations while it is not the case…,” he said. “Why should we run away from the negotiations?”

 

What Mr Ahmadinejad can do when its not in the agenda of world powers to sit down with him for talks on Iranian nuclear programme.
