Leader Raps NATO Military Strike on Libya
TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei slammed NATO and the West for inflicting "irreparable damage" on the Libyan nation.
"If the US and NATO had not interfered militarily, the people would have triumphed perhaps later, but at least all the infrastructure of the country would not have been destroyed and all these innocent women and children would not have been killed," the Supreme Leader said addressing the First International Islamic Awakening Conference in Tehran.
"Enemies, who for years collaborated and colluded with Gaddafi, would not have had the chance to interfere in this oppressed and war-beaten country."
"What has gathered us here is the Islamic awakening; that is, the state of arousal and consciousness in the Islamic people that is creating a great evolution in the peoples of the region, creating uprisings and revolutions that could never fit in the calculations of the regional and international bullying demons," he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei added that the West is hard at work around the regional uprisings, trying to bring the players it has championed into power to "preserve the system and the main levers of power and merely to put another head on the same body."
He also warned against "secular and liberal models of the West and the ultra-nationalist or Marxist approaches."
He said that with the fall of communism, the Balkan and Caucasus region "was freed from the talons of the USSR after 80 years. Why shouldn't we believe that oppressed Palestine could be saved from the Zionist chains after 70 years?"
