Nejad hits out at Nato
August 29, 2008 “This is how they pave the way for political and military influence... and unfortunately their unilateral actions are continuing,” he added. Ahmadinejad made the remarks at a summit of the SCO, a regional grouping consisting of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Iran and Afghanistan have observer status in SCO, which was founded in 2001 as a counterweight to NATO in the strategic Central Asian region.
The summit in the Tajik capital Dushanbe has been overshadowed by Russia’s armed conflict with Georgia, which has provoked a standoff between Moscow and the West that is stoking fears of a new Cold War.
