Mahmoud Ahmadinejad People Quotations

We believe that visa quotas should be lifted and people should visit anywhere they wish freely.

I cannot determine what people or nations should do, but I do think that extremism gives birth to following and subsequent extremism.

Fundamentally, I do agree, certainly, people must be allowed to express their own opinions freely. Freedom is part of the essential rights of all nations.

In Iran, people are free to express their views. Every day, some people criticize the policies of the government.

People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let's say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others.

We do believe that freedom, the right to choose, the right to vote, respect and justice is the fundamental right of all people. All people must obtain these rights.

My guess is, over time, the young people and the women will find him, as well as his masters, unacceptable.

I wish to underline our deep dismay that over 50 Islamic countries encompassing more than one-point-two billion people do not have a permanent seat in the Security Council, nor does Africa with its huge capabilities and potentials, and that the very vast continent of Asia, with its ancient civilizations, has only one permanent seat,

I don't know why some countries do not want to understand the fact that the Iranian people do not tolerate force.

I believe the people of the U.S. are peace-loving people.

Our people are used to these kind of incidents, and our intelligence agents found the footprints of Britain in the same incidents before,

Prior to the United Nations even being formed, Palestine was a country. But the right of the Palestinian people were trampled, and unfortunately, international organizations contributed to those rights being trampled.

Of course, they will use watever they have in their hand, which is the U.N. Security Council, and our nation has the means to defend and obtain its own rights. Do not doubt that our people will not lose.

defend the rights and interest of our people and our country ... we do not humble ourselves in the poisoned atmosphere created by foreign sources. We will remain strong and vigilant and work to overcome the obstacles in our way to achieve our goals and objectives.

The Iranian people insist on their legitimate right to develop peaceful nuclear technology and will not move from this right one iota.

The German people of today bear no guilt. Why are the German people not permitted the right to defend themselves? Why are the crimes of one group emphasized so greatly, instead of highlighting the great German cultural heritage? Why should the Germans not have the right to express their opinion freely?

We're fundamentally opposed to the expansion of nuclear-weapons arsenals. This is why we have proposed the formation of an unbiased organization and the disarmament of the nuclear powers. We don't need any weapons. We're a civilized, cultured people, and our history shows that we have never attacked another country.

Aggression, occupation and a repetition of the Holocaust won't bring peace. What we want is a sustainable peace. This means that we have to tackle the root of the problem. I am pleased to note that you are honest people and admit that you are obliged to support the Zionists.

Sixty million people died in the Second World War. World War II was a gigantic crime. We condemn it all. We are against bloodshed, regardless of whether a crime was committed against a Muslim or against a Christian or a Jew. But the question is: Why among these 60 million victims are only the Jews the center of attention?

Hundreds of social networks and websites such as Facebook and Twitter are trying to weaken people's morale and decrease their participation in the elections.

Iranians defend and present their Islamic and Iranian identity to other people worldwide.

We have a relationship with Syria, an old relationship. We also have good relations with the people of Syria, with all segments of the population. This is the situation as well in Iraq and other countries.

I am quite aware that a distinction must be drawn between the American government and the American people.

We don't want to confirm or deny the Holocaust. We oppose every type of crime against any people. But we want to know whether this crime actually took place or not.
