Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad gave an interview to the France 24 television on Wednesday.
“Enriching uranium up to 20 percent is Iran’s legal right and it is not for production of nuclear weapons”, he told.
Iranian president reiterated Iran‘s “legal right” to enrich uranium to 20 percent and said other countries would have to explain why Iran was not allowed to do this and what they would offer Iran in exchange if it stopped enriching uranium, IRNA writes referring to the source.
Asked if Tehran would accept an offer under which other countries would enrich its uranium if it suspended its nuclear program, Ahmadinejad said he was open to it.
“That offer has not been made, but it would ease the situation and would help build trust,” he said.
Iran’s president added that he did not expect talks next month with six world powers in Moscow on Iran‘s nuclear program to yield any major breakthroughs.
“We are not expecting miracles at the next meeting,” Ahmadinejad said.
“There will be areas of work that will go in the right direction and we will work towards them so that we would reach a constructive accord.”
He said that Tehran had “good proposals” to make, but that it would only announce them when the time was right, and both sides had to work hand in hand to restore confidence.
