Madrid (ANTARA News/AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Europe and the United States not to intervene in the Middle East in an interview Tuesday with Spanish television.

"I hope the European and US governments do not intervene in the affairs of this region and let the people of this region decide their future," he told public broadcaster RTVE.

"If they do not intervene in the affairs of this region I think the people of this region, for example the Libyan people, can decide their future," he said in an interview in Tehran.
