Ahmadinejad to Europe: Why don't you allow Holocaust research?
TEHRAN -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Monday expressed surprise over the European Union's biased approach to the historical event of holocaust.
The statement was made in an exclusive interview with the Spanish television broadcast, in response to the question about holocaust.
"I just raised two questions on the issue. Does EU consider questions as a crime. Today, anywhere in the world, one can raise questions about God, prophets, existence and any other issue.
"Why historical events should not be clarified?" asked the chief executive.
Turning to his first question, he said, "If a historical event has taken place, why do you not allow research to be conducted on it. What is the mystery behind it, given that even fresh research is conducted on definite rules of mathematics and physics.?"
Ahmadinejad referred to his first question, "If such an event has actually taken place, where did it happen? Why should the Palestinian people become homeless (because of this)?
"Why should Palestinian children, women and mothers be killed on streets every day for 60 years?"
The president said that these innocent people losing their lives had no role in World War II.
"All of them had been killed in Europe and Palestinian people were not involved in it," he added.
