Larijani: Nations' Awakening Breaks Imperialistic Views of Superpowers
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani praised the regional nations for their resistance against their tyrannical rulers, and reiterated that the waves of the Islamic awakening sweeping the region have broken the imperialistic views of the superpowers.
"The superpowers can no more reign the nations and deprive them of their rights," Larijani said, addressing the inauguration ceremony of the meeting of the Executive Board of Asia-Pacific Inter-parliamentary Union on Saturday.
He underlined that the era of the nations' awakening has started and the West's attempts to prevent the trend will further strengthen the regional people's resolve and determination.
He blasted the violent reaction of certain regional rulers to protestors in their countries, and said, "The world is witnessing the current popular and right-seeking uprisings in the region; nations want to decide their own fate and although this is their right, they are faced with violent and stubborn actions (of their governments)."
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has been sweeping the Arab world.
In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule.
Other revolutions later erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while anti-government unrests are growing in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and somehow Algeria.
