The hard-line president said that nuclear-armed powers were forcing scientific apartheid in the world.
He said that the West was dreaming that it could still order around countries like in the Middle Ages. If they dont wake up, the nations will slap them awake.
They say that they do not trust us, while we ourselves do not trust them, he said.
Addressing Western nations, Ahmadinejad said, It is you who must win our trust.
