by Majdur
TEHRAN, Jan. 27—Austrian President Thomas Klestil met with Iranian leaders President Khatami, the Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi, Head of the Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani as well as Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi in a visit between the two nations in a visit to Iran Jan. 25-27 that the Austrian President called, “his trip to Iran is one of the most fruitful visits he has ever had.”

In a meeting with Klestil the Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized, "The Iranian nation has been faced with real problems throughout the past 25 years such as war, but none of them has been able to force our nation and politicians to retreat from confronting the enemies."

Referring to the United States as the perpetrator of "evil deeds, aggression and hatred in the whole world", Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated, "Due to its illogical moves in Afghanistan and particularly in Iraq, the US administration is now facing numerous crises and these crises will not leave the Americans alone."

During the meeting, which was also attended by President Mohammad Khatami, the Austrian president referred to his great enthusiasm for visiting the leader of the Islamic Revolution, adding that his trip to Iran is one of the most fruitful visits he has ever had.

Klestil added that the largest economic delegation that has ever accompanied an Austrian president is now in Tehran, proving the importance Vienna attaches to ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"As against the US government's stands, we not only do not consider Iran as a part of the axis of evil, but recognize the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the axis of peacemaking and friendship in the world and the region," he emphasized.
