Peres comments on contents of Ahmedinejad’s UN speech
President Shimon Peres told reporters during the UN General Assembly that he is encouraged by the speeches given by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US President George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy but is worried about the speech to be given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
“I managed to read and comprehend the speech Ahmedinejad is going to give. This speech calls for a return to the dark ages of hate, hostility and lack of respect for basic human rights. Ahmedinejad thinks that he is the supreme authority on world issues but he has no right to decide who is good and who is bad,” said Peres. (Dana Zimmerman, New York)
