英语文摘：Iranian president ready to discuss issues with U.S. "under fair conditions"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Iran has always been ready to discuss issues as long as they are within the legal framework and based on "principles of justice and respect," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an interview with ABC television's " This Week" program which was broadcast Sunday.

"We have a plan to discuss things, to discuss issues," the president said when asked whether he is going to have a meeting with the United States in the P5-plus-one on the nuclear issue.

U.S. Department of State said officials from the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France -- the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany, will hold talks on Iranian nuclear issue next week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The group is known as the P5-plus-one.

"We're always prepared to talk, but under fair conditions and respectful conditions," Ahmadinejad said. "If somebody thinks that they can, like, order us around or rule us and talk -- call it a talk, that wouldn't work. But if they are ready to sit down, respect the law, be fair and just, we're always prepared to talk."

He claimed that all nuclear activities in Iran are "being controlled by cameras," material that is moved is weighed, examined and controlled. "So as far as the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) is concerned, there's no blockage of that supervision."

IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano last week accused Iran of not fully cooperating with the UN watchdog and banning two nuclear inspectors from entering the country this summer.

Ahmadinejad charged that some inspectors had released nuclear information provided by Iran, which is "illegal." "The IAEA is required by a statute to protect that information, not to release it," he added. "And plus, the IAEA is aware of several other violations that they have permitted."
