Iran also said that it will inaugurate the nuclear power plant of Russian construction in the southern port of Bushehr in 2012.

Iranian nuclear program development interrupted negotiations a year ago, but officials of the pa´si proposed last month the return to talks with the five permanent members of the Security Council of the UN, as well as Germany.

“Iran is ready to talk within a framework of equality and justice,” he reiterated Ahmadinejad, but he warned that Tehran “will ever enter into talks if the enemies behave in an arrogant manner”.

The President demanded to United States and the Western countries cease in its interference in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf and stop supporting Israel.

In Tehran, the mobilization began morning in Plaza Azadi (freedom), usual place of concentration in the Iranian capital, which was decorated with flowers and where demonstrators carried flags and banners with Islamic slogans and also against the traditional enemies of the regime, United States and Israel.

In the capital, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators marched with a replica plane life-size unmanned spy RQ170 Sentinel, the latest of which has United States, that last December the Iranian military captured and secured having to descend while it was northeast of its territory.
