| Iran ready to send 'investigators' to Nazi death camps |
| 01.25.06 (1:22 pm) [edit] |
| Iran said Wednesday it was willing to send a team of "independent investigators" to visit former Nazi deaths camps across Europe -- but not President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has described the Holocaust as a "myth". "We welcome the proposal by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to visit the Holocaust sites," Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA. "We are ready to send teams of independent investigators to the places Mr. Blair speaks of," he said, but said these teams would comprise of people "who are not sympathetic to those who committed the crimes and who are not sympathetic to the Zionist regime (Israel)." On Monday, Blair lashed out at an Iranian foreign ministry plan to stage a conference questioning the Holocaust as "shocking, ridiculous, stupid". He also said Ahmadinejad "should come and see the evidence of the Holocaust himself in the countries of Europe". But Mottaki said he also "regretted the inappropriate language" used by the British prime minister. Ahmadinejad, an ultra-conservative who came to power in a surprise victory last June, has provoked international condemnation with a number of anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish remarks. They include labelling Israel a "tumour" that should be "wiped off the map" or moved as far away as Alaska and claiming the Holocaust -- the systematic slaughter of an estimated six million Jews during World War II -- was a Western invention. Iran on Tuesday defended its plan to stage a conference questioning the Holocaust and accused British Prime Minister Tony Blair of "intolerance" for criticising the event. "The comments by Prime Minister Tony Blair are an insult to the intelligence of people around the world," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said in statement carried by the ISNA news agency. "For half a century, the defenders of the Holocaust have used every tribune to defend their position, and now have to listen to others." The foreign ministry unveiled plans for the conference last week, a month after hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinjead described the Holocaust as a "myth". Bring it on, morons. http://www.ejpress.org/articl... |

Great post....Iran is a bothersome situation. I don't see this current President of Iran lasting long to tell you the truth.
