World Press Review on Non-aligned movement summit (August 25-27, 2012)

On Sunday, August 26, the New York Times published an article "At

Summit Meeting, Iran Has a Message for the World" about the current

non-aligned movement meeting in Tehran.

"The message is clear. As Iran plays host to the biggest international

conference the Islamic republic has organized in its 33-year history,

it wants to tell its side of the long standoff with the Western

powers, which are increasingly convinced that Tehran is pursuing

nuclear weapons", writes the author of the articled Thomas Erdbrink.

"Iran’s foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, opened the meeting’s early

sessions on Sunday with a plea for the 120 countries in the movement

to oppose the sanctions imposed on his country, and he asked them to

stand against terrorism, saying Iran is the biggest victim of

terrorist attacks in the world", reports the newspaper.

“Electing Iran as leader of the Nonaligned Movement shows that a

global resistance against America and the Zionists has taken

shape.America better give up, as this is yet another sign of its

collapse,” the New York Times cites Mohammad Reza Naghdi, the

commander of a paramilitary group, .

"It is clear that the conference is helping Iran gets its message

out", concludes the author.
