Baku â€“ APA. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadâ€™s speech at the UN General Assembly caused a protest among many countries, including U.S. and France. Ahmadinejad said rapacious capitalism was coming to an end and it would share the fate of Marxism, APA reports quoting the Associated Press. He offered a hand of friendship to the honest and transparent partners and called Iran a protector of poor and helpless countries. Ahmadinejad said he accepted cooperation with all nations for international security and added that Iran would prevent any attempt against its sovereignty.

The Iranian president targeted Israel and Jews: â€œIt is unacceptable that network created by minority is ruling policy, economy and culture in the most part of the world and establishing new colonialismâ€. He accused the United States in waging war and bloodshed in Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands kilometers far away.
