"Dialogue between civilisation means, in its political dimension, the rejection of both terrorism and violence. Because violence is deaf and deprived of logic, it doesn't lead to any mutual understanding. It only requires the renunciation altogether of the other and of its requirements in taste and interests. In that respect, the only language available to silence all kinds of opposition would be violence. The result would then be the emergence of the most abject and horrible phenomenon of all: terror and war on the one hand, destruction, domination and occupation on the other. The content of the dialogue between civilisations and cultures means the condemnation of all kinds of violence, terrorism and war."

STORYLINE:
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami told a UNESCO gathering in Paris on Tuesday that the dialogue between civilisation implies a rejection of violence and terrorism.
Khatami's visit to the French capital on Tuesday is due to include a meeting with French President Jacques Chirac in which the nuclear issue is likely to be discussed.
In an interview published on Tuesday in the French daily Le Figaro, Khatami said that Iran and key European countries were in a delicate stage in their negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme.
France, Germany and Britain are in talks with Iran to try to negotiate a permanent suspension to uranium enrichment, which can create both fuel for energy and the core of nuclear weapons.
Iran has insisted that a current freeze is short-term.
The United States, which says Iran's nuclear programme is aimed at producing weaponry, has softened its tone to see if the diplomatic approach can work.
Khatami, considered a moderate, travelled to France from Austria, where he appealed to the United States to drop its opposition to his country's nuclear activities.
He told Le Figaro that it would be unacceptable for Tehran to be forced to renounce peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
He noted that Iran isn't negotiating with the United States.
Khatami, along with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, was a keynote speaker at the UNESCO conference on Tuesday .
The Iranians were behind the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's (UNESCO) effort to promote a dialogue among civilisations, cultures and people.
The UN Year of Dialogue Among Civilisations was launched in 2001.
Meanwhile, an exiled Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance, planned a demonstration on Tuesday against Khatami.
