PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran's President said he is certain the wave of unrest in the Middle East will spread to Europe and North America, bringing an end to governments he accused of oppressing and humiliating people.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose own country resorted to violence to disperse an opposition rally earlier this month, also condemned Libya's use of force against demonstrators, calling it "grotesque."
"The world is on the verge of big developments. Changes will be forthcoming and will engulf the whole world from Asia to Africa and from Europe to North America," Ahmadinejad told a news conference Feb 23.
Ahmadinejad said the world was in need of a just system of rule that "puts an end to oppression, occupation and humiliation of people." "It's a wave that's coming," he said.
Even while denying his own opponents the right to demonstrate, Ahmadinejad urged Libya's Moammar Gadhafi to heed his peoples' demands. He sharply criticized Libya's leaders for their use of force.
"This is very grotesque. It is unimaginable that there is someone who kills and bombards his own people. I strongly advise them to let nations have their say and meet their nations' demands if they claim to be the officials of those nations," Ahmadinejad said. "Of course anyone who does not heed the demands of his own nation will have a clear fate," he added, AP reported.
