Transcript: View from the Top with Madeleine Albright
|
|
Chrystia Freeland, US managing editor, interviewed Madeleine Albright, former US secretary of state and chairwoman of the Albright Stonebridge Group and Albright Capital Management. They spoke about Obama’s first year and Afghanistan, China, Iran and democracy, and health care and global opportunities. This is a transcript of that interview.
FT: How does this very visible emergence of an Iranian opposition change the calculations with Iran?
MA: Well, I think the part that more people are beginning to understand is that Iran is not a monolithic society, and that there have all along been discussions about what the various grouping are in Iran. As a matter of fact, when we were office I removed sanctions on caviar, pistachios, and rugs. Not that we needed those, but they were primarily associated with the merchant class, which was one of the classes that kind of showed some differences within Iran. So I think it’s very important for people to understand that not everybody is the same in Iran.
I believe that – I’m just, I have to say, overwhelmed with admiration for those people that are out there demonstrating to show that the elections were not – the results were not properly counted, and they are really showing. I think the part that makes this complicated is that in some ways it has – I don’t think paralysed is quite the right word, but made it much more difficult for decisions to be made by Iran because they’re dealing –the governments are dealing with their internal issues when we had hoped that they would deal with us. But I think it just shows the vibrancy of the Iranian society, the interesting aspects of the younger people who want to live in some kind of a different way. So I do think that it clearly adds to the complications of the whole issue, but also shows great hope that Iran could take a different place in the region and play a very important role.
