HOLOCAUST IS NONE OF IRAN'S BUSINESS

Labels: , ,
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani says the Holocaust is "none of Iran's business" as the country prepares for direct negotiations with the US.
When asked about the Holocaust on Saturday, Larijani said, "As far as this issue is concerned, there are several standpoints but it is none of our business."
He added that it was "unfortunate" that the evaluation of the Holocaust had been made a taboo, the Etemad Melli daily reported Sunday.
This comes as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's fascination with the topic has cost the country dearly.
Since he took office in August 2005, he has publicly doubted the dimensions of the Holocaust, saying it should be open to debate and research.
"The West has given more significance to the myth of the genocide of the Jews, even more than God, religion, and the prophets," President Ahmadinejad said in 2005.
For such remarks and his continued criticism of Israeli crimes against Palestinians, President Ahmadinejad has been accused of anti-Semitism as well as having plans to destroy Israel.
President Ahmadinejad's stance toward the Holocaust and Israel prompted the former Bush administration to adopt a harsh policy toward Tehran.
The new administration of President Barack Obama, however, has offered to review its policies should Iran "unclench" its fist.
