Today Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Manouchehr Mottaki has commented on a number of scandalous applications of the president of the country Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called “to erase Israel from a card of the world”.
According to the words of the Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister, no country can be erased from a card and any pupil of an elementary school knows that it is impossible to erase the state from a card and it is obvious. Such application has been made by Manouchehr Mottaki at the press conference in Jordan, having added thus, that Iran is not going to interfere in any country.
For the first time the president of Iran M.Ahmadinejad has acted with such the application in October, 2005 at conference “The World without Zionism” in Teheran, having caused a great world resonance. At that time many countries have apprehended Ahmadinejad’s words as the direct threat to the Jewish state.
However, M. Ahmadinejad has publicly denied the critic of the international community. In the further he has frequently repeated the appeals, declaring, that these were the words of Iranian people. The president of Iran has approved that the West can make any comments, but their reaction has no value.
