Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday asked how the West could claim the freedom to insult Prophet Mohammad but considers research to prove the holocaust a crime. The Iranian leader said that the true holocaust can be found in Palestine, where ruthless Zionists shed the blood of Palestinians every day. "On the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation, numbering by the millions, call upon those governments to worship the Almighty God," he stated, according to IRNA.

 

The president warned Western countries to start dissociating themselves from the Zionists considering Zionism's imminent annihilation and end of Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands.

 

Ahmadinejad said that the only solution to the Palestinian problem was the holding of a Palestinian referendum that would give these people the right to decide their own fate.

 

On the nuclear issue, he said Iran could revise its strategy in case Western countries insist on blocking its efforts to access peaceful nuclear technology in accordance with NPT rules and regulations.

 

The president was speaking before millions of people gathered at Azadi Square in western Tehran marking the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
