Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that sponsors of the Annapolis summit were only following political propaganda. According to IRNA, he said since the conference lacked the minimum requirements, it failed."

 

"Even the most unintelligent people from the political point of view will soon understand that the Annapolis conference was already a failure," he added.

 

When the real representatives of the Palestinian nation and the resistance groups were not attending the conference and in addition to that the rights, votes, and demands of the Palestinian nation were not recognized, hundreds of such meetings would be futile, the Iranian president reiterated.

 

"They are following a political propaganda to say that the Arab states have sat around a table with the Zionist regime," he said urging them to let the Arab states hold a referendum in their own countries to see whether their nations agreed with their participation in the confab or not.

 

Referring to his telephone conversation with Saudi King Abdullah, Ahmadinejad said, "He (the Saudi King) said that they neither recognized Israel nor would let the Palestinian right be violated."

 

The Iranian leader noted that the present scene of Palestine is no more a place for compromising and weak politicians affiliated to the Zionists. "Today the Palestinian nation has made its decision and the Palestinian youth and resistance forces are standing in the middle of the scene."
