Tehran, April 26, IRNA -- Supreme leader of Islamic revolution ayatollah Ali Khamenei here on Wednesday called on groups loyal to the revolution and Islamic system to help the government overcome the problems of the people while maintaining principles and fundamentals.

Ayatollah Khamenei said various issues should be analayzed beyond political and factional frameworks. Various events and periods are transitory and pass along time and the only thing remaining steadfast is the responsibility before God and being answerable to the almighty. therefore, all should fulfil their duties and responsibilities with respect to the reality, said the paramount leader.

The leader stressed the need for remaining loyal to slogans and principled stances of the revolution. "all of you believe in Islam, revolution and imam but inside the country there are some who, like the U.S., are against such principles; and it is important to take clear and transparent position against such oppositions and enmities. However, the stance of some friends and political groups on the issues are so intangible that anyone who believes in them would feel that he can even be attached to the counter-revolutionaries," said the leader.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that he did not oppose viewpoints of the opposition or publication of their analyses within framework of the law as was the case since the beginning of the revolution but one should not use such pretexts to entrust the affairs of the nation to the counter-revolutionaries and exert pressure on the revolutionaries.

Hence, all personalities, groups and wings loyal to Islam and the revolution should adopt concrete positions against those inside and outside the country who counter the revolution, path of the late imam Khomeini, 'velayat-e faqih' (guardianship of supreme jurisprudence) and constitution under the guise of reforms, added the leader.

The paramount leader strongly criticized the position of a section of the press and the presence of counter-revolutionary and opponent elements (on the scene). "the revolutionary tendencies should not keep silent in the face of such realities because a deviationary trend in the press with an aim to mislead public opinion against Islam, revolution and the Islamic system, raises concern among and distorts public opinion every day, prevents dealing with people's major problems and launches ballyhoo on minor issues instead," said ayatollah Khamenei.

The method some friends have adopted against such deviationary trend is 'wrong and inefficient' and practically, provides opponents of the system with the chance to abuse the press, the leader added.

Therefore, the method should be rectified, added the grand ayatollah.

The leader criticized certain tendencies and people for interpreting and presenting warnings of some benevolent people as opposition to president Mohammad Khatami.

"The attitude is not correct because the president is himself defender of the system and the revolution; moreover, I strongly support the president based on principles and foundations.," said the leader.

Ayatollah Khamenei described the Berlin conference as an 'ugly' move and a conspiracy to bring the system and revolution under question. The foundations organizing such conferences are usually supported by enemies' security, political and intelligence organs.

The leader stated, the Berlin conference was held after several months of planning and careful selection of the guests purporting that the people are representatives of various strata of Iranian nation.

"The organizers of the conference had, through such planning and by inviting all the groups abroad opposed to the system had, in fact, tried to turn the conference into a session to put the revolution and Islamic system on trial. They also wanted to publicize on behalf of the counter-revolutionaries that fundamental reforms are possible only through elimination of Islam and velayat-e faqih from the constitution or by changing the constitutional law. But God thwarted the conspiracy and the disgrace of the Berlin conference remained on German statesmen."

"I have nothing to do with German government but it is for the umpteenth time that German policy makers reveal their lack of talent and their foolishness and are once again deceived," the leader observed.

Elsewhere the leader addressed himself to political personalities present at the meeting and said, "I have nothing to do with your or your rivals' political line or tendency or your differences but stress that you should compete with each other and hold debates while sticking to the principles and fundamentals."

The leader referred to people's expectation for removal of their economic problems and said hot debates and political clamors are obstacles in the way of economic reforms.

"Such topics as the priority of political or economic development have for long taken up the time of various media but executors and statesmen should be after improving people's economic status irrespective of such issues because if people are satisfied with economic and living conditions, nothing will encourage them to raise conflicts. However if people have many economic problems, even if there is freedom, they will turn back to the government."

The leader said that all were hopeful that economic rehabilitation plan proposed by the president would serve as a step towards removal of public problems but unfortunately, certain officials had shortfalls in implementing the plan. "is this a help to government and president?" questioned the leader.

The leader told the political personalities present, "your main position is the context of the revolution and protection of its principles; you have grown up with the revolution and today too when the enemies have targeted the principles of the revolution you should stand firmly in your true position and by assuming the initiative join other friends with whom you are in agreement in terms of the principles of revolution and the system."
