Iran President says world is becoming `Ahmadinejadised`
Tehran, Nov 21: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said the
world is "rapidly becoming "Ahmadinejadised" and global leaders have
started following in his footsteps, press reports said on Tuesday.
"I have travelled to all the continents except for one and I know what
is going on out there. Everybody is eager to hear the Iranian people's
message," the reformist Aftab-Yazd newspaper quoted the President as
saying.
"The world is rapidly becoming Ahmadinejadised."
The austere hardliner said that Iran's "two big missions are
constructing the country and introducing a model for humanity."
World leaders, he added, had started copying his provincial trips,
during which he pledges to create jobs and fight poverty.
"When I telephone other leaders, I am told that they are on trips.
Their trips are the same as the provincial tours that I have
initiated," he said.
So far, Ahmadinejad has gone on 21 provincial trips to look into local
problems.
"This government has risen from people's prayers," he said of his
presidential electoral victory.
"Someone even told me that he had vowed to say Salavats (a one-line
formula to praise the Prophet Mohammed) as many times as my electoral
votes count," Ahmadinejad said, referring to his June 2005 shock win by
more than 17 million votes over pragmatist cleric Akbar Hashemi
Rafsanjani.
Since rising to power, the president has roused nationalist sentiments
and pushed through a populist economic agenda.
