CNN Interview: Iranian President Opens a “Crack in the Wall of Mistrust” Between Iran and the U.S.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 February 2009

Extract

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. At the outset, I would like to congratulate all free and noble women and men especially the followers of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), on the occasion of the New Year. I take as a good omen the concurrence of the Christian New Year with the Islamic month of Ramadan, the month of edification and self-restraint that has been the goal of all divine prophets.
