Ahmadinejad: Erdogan expressed feelings of Turkish people, all world nations

Tehran, Jan 31, IRNA ?

Iran?s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said what the Turkish prime
minister said in objection to the remarks of Zionist regime head
Shimon Peres was a genuine expression of the heartfelt feelings of
both the Turkish people and other nations worldwide.

The president was referring to a panel discussion during the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where Prime Minister Recep
Teyyeb Erdogan stormed out of the panel in objection to the remarks of
Peres who was trying to legitimize the massacre of women and children
in Gaza during 22 days of Zionist army?s assault to the territory.

Ahmadinejad hailed Erdogan?s reaction as ?praiseworthy? and said the
Turkish premier, as a human being who feels deeply for human dignity
and justice, behaved the way he was expected in condemning the Zionist
crimes and its barbaric atrocities.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of ceremonies held at the
mausoleum of the Late Founder of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini
at the start of the ?Ten-Day Dawn? celebrations, he also labeled as
?irrational? the claim by the Zionist officials who said the
defenseless Palestinian women and children were actually to be blamed
for the massacre in Gaza because they refused to leave their homes.

He believed the behavior of the Zionist regime was an insult to the
humanity and the human dignity.

Commenting on the motto of ?change? being advocated by the new
American president and its effect on Iran-US relations, the president
said the new US administration should be well aware of the fact that
it could never ignore the true and rightful demands of world nations
by introducing superficial changes.

He said any changes in the policies of the Obama administration should
be practical and fundamental ones in line with restoring the rights of
the nations.
