Ahmadinejad to Address a Letter to Americans Today

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to convey a five-page message to the American nation on Wednesday.

A source privy to the Presidential office told FNA that following the recent visit to New York by the President where he attended the 61st meeting of the UN General Assembly and met American people from different walks of life, Dr. Ahmadinejad decided to author a letter to the American nation to further discuss the points raised during the said meetings.

“After writing the letter, the president yesterday decided to publicize it today,” he added.

President Ahmadinejad’s five-page message is due to be presented to the US media via Iran’s representative mission at the UN in New York.

The Persian version of the text will be released in Iran after the English version is publicized in the US, the source concluded.

Ahmadinejad has so far forwarded similar open letters to the US President George W. Bush and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but this one is his first to a foreign nation.
