Tehran's interim Friday prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani said on Friday that the West should take lessons from the past and get awakened.

Ayatollah Kashani made the remark in his second sermon in this week’s Friday prayers congregation at Tehran University, while touching on the Iran-P5+1 talks that are underway in Istanbul, Turkey.

Hoping that the talks will go on realistically, Ayatollah Emami-Kashani said nuclear energy in Iran is for industrial and scientific purposes and is not weapon-grade.

He said a group of 120 experts of different nationalities have in their visits to Iran’s nuclear sites testified the transparency of the country’s measures.

He hoped that the talks would bear fruits with vigilance of the other party and the West’s envoy.

Commenting on Western sanctions against Iran, Ayatollah Emami-Kashani said the sanctions and pressures would not prevent Iran’s resistant nation to keep going on its path.

Referring to the banning of Hijab in the schools of the Azerbaijan Republic, Tehran Friday prayer leader said: "Azeri people resist the decision of the ministry of education in their country and show their interest in preserving the limits and the glory of Islam."

Commenting on the revolution in Tunisia, Ayatollah Emami-Kashani said: "The Tunisian people resisted the dictator and expelled him. History has shown that the trend of truth would not fade out."

In another part of his speech, Tehran Friday prayer leader condemned terrorist acts against pilgrims of Imam Hossein (P.B.U.H.) shrine in Karbala, Iraq, in the days leading to the anniversary of Arbaeen.
