Ahmadinejad: Americans not after democracy, human rights in region

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday that the US military expedition to the region is for oil and they are not after establishing democracy and human rights in the region.
President Ahmadinejad made the remarks while answering questions posed by Malaysian official news agency (BERNAMA) and its state television.
The interview is expected to be broadcast on Monday night at Malaysia's local time.
A reporter asked, "The West believes that you are not in line with their goals and your tone has always been negative." The president replied that the Iranian nation does not recognize the orders of the global arrogance and strongly deals with the one-sided system which is based on safeguarding the interests of some bullying powers.
The new world order has brought hatred, war and discriminations, said the Iranian president.
"They wish to revive the slavery era but the world has changed and we should take into consideration nations' interests," he said.

To resolve current problems in the region, he said those who have occupied the region should pull out their forces and respect the rights of nations.
They should let nations in the region make their own decision and administer their own affairs, he underlined.
On soaring oil prices in the world, he said the issue has roots in the unjust policies of the global arrogance.
President Ahmadinejad highlighted the significant role of D8 in global economy and said the member states could help remove existing problems in energy sector across the globe.
The Iranian president arrived in Kuala Lumpur earlier in the day to attend the sixth Summit of the Eight Islamic Developing Countries (D8) where he is expected to deliver a speech on Tuesday.
