Iran president says West nuclear concern "big lie"
Jakarta,
May
10
:
Western
countries'
expressions
of
concern
over
nuclear
issues
are
a
''big
lie'',
Iranian
President
Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad
said
today.
''Big powers pretend (they) are concerned, but it's a big lie,'' he told a news conference during a visit to Indonesia overshadowed by the Islamic republic's controversial nuclear policies.
''I'll tell you, they are not concerned with nuclear programmes... They are themselves engaged in nuclear activities and they are expanding day by day. They test new brands of weapons of mass destruction every day,'' Ahmadinejad said.
