Tehran, YJC. Candidate expresses pity for Khatami and Ahmadinejad administrations to have received “spanking” from the “mean” US for their nuclear programs.

Speaking
in an interview over his presidential programs, Mohammad Qarazi said in answer
to a question regarding sanctions and the nuclear program "The nuclear issue is
a technical and political one. Poor Khatami administration got a good spanking
for it and the Ahmadinejad admin also got a nice one. Whoever opens or shuts
down a power plant will be given a spanking. The Americans are mean. We must
pressure them a bit and make them back down.”
Asked
what objection he would have to Hashemi’s administration of which he himself
was a member, he said "I have had quarrels with all admins, because I believe
that inflation cripples development. Whenever I saw Hashemi, Mousavi, or
Khatami I quarreled with them. In the Hashemi administration development was
accompanied by inflation and Reformists muddied his reputation.”
Asked
about his administrational programs, he answered "The program is that if I get
a good vote, which would be curious, I will spend from the incomes.”
