IRAN: TEHRAN: PRESIDENT HASHEMI RAFSANJANI PRESS CONFERENCE

(11 Mar 1996) Farsi/Nat Despite pressure from the U-S and European Union to condemn terrorism, Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani said (Monday) that his country morally supported the Muslim fundamentalist Hamas movement. Two days before the anti-terrorist meeting in Egypt takes place (Wednesday) Rafsanjani, whose country has not been invited, dismissed the summit and confirmed an invitation from Russian President Boris Yeltsin to attend another conference on terrorism in the near future. The U-S and Israel have accused Iran of complicity in the recent series of suicide bombings in Israel, although proof has not been offered. Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani made some ambiguous statements (Monday) in reply to Western countries' demands for an official condemnation of terrorism. SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) In principle we condemn any form of terrorist action no matter who is behind it, Hamas or any Palestinian group. These people are struggling for their land . If we support them morally, this doesn't mean that we support any terrorist action. I received a letter from President Yeltsin and they requested from us to attend an anti-terrorist conference. We said we have no problem to attend this conference in order to fight terrorism. SUPER CAPTION: Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, President of Iran Wednesday's gathering at Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. will draw representatives from more than 30 countries. But some Middle East governments - Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria- will not be there. Accused of harboring radical groups including Hamas, Iran has not even been invited. Rafsanjani dismissed the summit. SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) This summit is a failed propaganda and it will not lead to any positive results. All we need is a goodwill gesture from the White House. To prove this, our frozen assets in the U-S banks should be released. Then we are opened to any dialogue with the U-S SUPER CAPTION: Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, President of Iran Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
