[alis2bia]

[hpayandah]

[chowmein911]

[blackdove66]

@chowmein911 He is the official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East on behalf of the UN, the EU, the US and Russia; he took the job when he left politics in the UK

[mixedLondoner]

jump to approx 26mins in Mottakkis response. they finally play the translation

[jacobmart]

Mottaki even can't speaks English. How did he become foreign minister at the first place?

[metofski]

cause he's Iranian dude...not ENGLISH!

[FreeSoulPersia]

you want peace in the middle east? ask the iranian government to stop it!!!! you all know that your ignoring it HAMAS HEZBOLLAH are supported by IRAN.

[metofski]

Nice...You're a good jocker

[iranjoon]

we didnt get all truncation

[RedTerror]

what a disgrace, why invite the man if we aren't allowed to hear his words?

[WhatAboutBut]

I don't get it.. other personalities speaking at Davos WEF, their native language gets translated while they talk, but here they even don't translate later on.

[modir23]

wow Mottaki speaks very good English. why is he putting headphones?!!

[YasharMJ]

for even better translation? i donno, maybe he's more comfortable to think i persian!

[some1inuk]

lol

[aled1110]

Mr. Mottaki's answers in the first speech was not translated this is strange as it was in my opinion the highlight of this meeting and the most meaningful one as well. It is a shame that this has happened and it makes me wonder wether this was censorship and if so what can we say about the state of the free world!! which can not tolerate a different perspective of the situation in the middle east

[FreeSoulPersia]

mr mottaki is used to censorship he lives in a country where the human rights are not respected he is a murderer shame on all the other politicians who know that and don't say anything

[metofski]

Hi...wake up...it's morning...Hello, here is world of reality....not junk yard!

[Metsada007]

@aled1110

There is such thing as free speech. If you question the holocaust they put you in jail in western european countries. If you speak against Zionist aggression they will expel you from university like happened to Dr. Norman Finkelstein. The terms "free speech"and "human rights" and "democracy" are just propaganda tools of western governments.

[artin74]

[artin74]

[poorna61]

long life to turkey

[AUDEL84]

Who chose all these moderators?! There not very moderate 2 me!

[aled1110]

It is highly questionable that most of Mr. Mottaki's Iran's Foreign speech was not translated. The most important speech by far and the most interesting for the viewers would have been this speech. It is a shame that Mr. Mottaki was not speaking in English so that he could have overcome such censorship.

[FB44lion]

I have to say as an Iranian that supports the current government I was ashamed of Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki's

I know if Khatami or any other Reformer was Iran's president Iran would have had a clear answer of yes to the two state solution

and I know he can speak English extremely well I just didn't know he was such a snake

And thats the best word for it SNAKE

I truly hope Ahmadinejad loses in the upcoming election

This man is an embarrassment to Iran and all Iranians

[AramAzhari]

Take a look at minute 19:00 !!

[damesh2008]

iraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the best

[shahabkhatibi]

Muttaki's speech is Great...!!!

[Qaf01]

davos fix up the translation audio

[mhkazemi3]

Translation for Mottaki?

[FeverIAm]

It would be really helpful if the Arabic spoken by the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs was at least sub-titled for non Arabic speakers. As the rest of the video is in English, then English subtitles would be good to understand his position more clearly.

[WhatAboutBut]

Its farsi... they dont speak arabic. :s
