Hankyoreh interviews Iranian official

Hankyoreh interview with Mahdi Safari, a representative of the Foreign Ministry of Iran : [...] Hankyoreh: President Ahmadinejad has been constantly criticized by Western nations since he took office in last August. = They criticize those who are against their interests. Nevertheless, since he took office president Ahmadinejad has emphasized cooperation with the nations of this regions and with Islamic nations. [...] Hankyoreh, what about telling even a bit of what's been behind the "constant criticism of Western nations", if you don't have the guts to ask whether it's appropriate to call for a destruction of a certain nation? For that, I'll refer those who might want to know to Al Jazeera. Lately Hankyoreh has given a lot to wonder what its actual views are on human rights, application of laws, and democracy in the Korean peninsula.
