West seeking to turn countries against each other :Ahmadinejad

TEHRAN,Jan.30 (MNA)-- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered the opening speech of the two-day World Conference on Youth and Islamic Awakening, in which he said that the West is seeking to sow seeds of discord among regional nations with the aim of saving the Zionist regime. The West is seeking to create discord and conflict in the Middle East region, Ahmadinejad said, adding, “Their purpose is to save the Zionist regime. So everyone should be vigilant because they are seeking to sow religious and ethnic discord in order to be able to target one country through another country in the region.” “We have told the leaders of certain regional countries, ‘They (the Westerners) want to target Syria through you, and then your turn will come,’” he stated. Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad said that the hegemonistic powers established the Zionist regime in order to establish dominance in the region and to take over the reins of popular and revolutionary uprisings. “It is obvious that the main source of the problems facing the people in the region is the Zionist regime and the hegemons,” he said, adding, “The Westerners came to the region 100 years ago, and some made a mistake, and this is how this regime remained in the region and the hegemons were able to establish domination over the region.” “If there is dictatorship in the region, the cause should be traced back to the Zionists, and we should see who helped the dictators come to power to oppose people of the region, with whom dictators held secret meetings, and who armed regional dictators,” the Iranian president said. Ahmadinejad added that the existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to human dignity and all the world’s nations. He also advised regional countries to remain vigilant about the domineering powers’ plots. “Do the countries which claim to be advocates of democracy and justice in the world themselves enjoy democracy and justice to give them as gifts to us?” Ahmadinejad also said that the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States are “puppets” that take orders from the Zionists.
