Ahmadinejad did not say whether Iran accepted a Western proposal for resuming
negotiations that demands Tehran suspend uranium enrichment in return for a
package of incentives .
"On behalf of the Iranian nation, I'm announcing that the Iranian nation will
never hold negotiations about its definite rights with anybody, but we are for
talks about mutual concerns to resolve misunderstandings in the international
arena," Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in Qazvin, west of the capital
Tehran.
