"Those who said in the past that we should quit the nuclear activities now they say that we are ready to accept your achievements on condition that it prolonges for a short time. Therefore this achievement will not be earned without resistance," Ayatollah Khamenei said.

He termed the structure of the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran as unique in clarification of the platforms and principles of the Islamic system and added "The Islamic Republic is a unique reality which established a political and social system, so this system's priciples are different form international norms and these norms can not be followed by the Islamic system's priciples."

He noted that the Islamic system's different platforms would not mean ignoring the scientific successes and experiences of others and stressed "We evaluate the successes of the other's experiences on the basis of the Islamic system's priciples."

Ayatollah Khamenei named the Priciples of the Revolution and the late Imam Khomeini's way as the principles of the Islamic system and said "The Imam's way is the same as the principles of the pure Islam and Imam Khomeini would not hesitate about explanation of these principles."

He termed adoption of clear stances against the enemies and being proud of the values of the Islamic Revolution as the other principles of the Islamic system and added "We can reveal or hide the Islamic system's prudences on the basis of expediency but the entity of the the system should be clear forever because that is the symbol of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

"Announcement of values and principles of the Islamic system would bring pride and progress to the country," he added.

"Making discussions over the Islamic values and specify boundaries with the enemies is another priciple of the system," he said adding that the Islamic Revolution forces with different political affiliation should cooperate with each other and specify their ideological boundaries with the enemy.

The IR Leader said the enemy tries to manipulate culture to influence political and economic issues.

"An example of such projects is the attempt to devide the country's political apparatus into radicals and moderates," he added.

He said that in the enemy's division those who beleive in the principles of the Islamic system will be names as radicals.

"Thank God, the country's current atmosphere and the society dialogue is the dialogue of adherence to the values and all the branches of the government honor to this adherence."

"The enemy tries to devide the country's political groups into radicals and moderates and has announced clearly that the pressures should be increased over Iran in a way to bring the moderates or those who do not beleive in the Islamic system to power in the two important elections," he added.

"These principles should be the basis for unity and national cooperation and even a minority which has not accepted these principles will enjoy the public rights as citizens."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has turned into the number one power in the region through the people's resistance, braveness and presence in the scene," he said.
