"Those resolutions are only paper"

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today said that new sanctions imposed on his country would not slow the country’s progress on its nuclear programme.

“Those resolutions are only paper,” he said.

Mr. Ahmadinejad today joined other seven heads of states and governments to attend the seventh D-8 summit of developing nations in Nigeria’s capital Abuja.

“Those who have regulated and designed the resolutions against the Islamic republic of Iran need us more than we need them,” he said.
