Iran to hold anti-Israeli conference in Tehran<br />

Tehran (dpa) - Iran is to hold an anti-Israeli conference in mid-April this year in Tehran, Iranian<br />

media reported Sunday.<br />

The Qods conference will deal with the latest developments in Israel and Palestine with<br />

several international scholars scheduled to attend.<br />

It is however unclear whether the Qods conference will replace the scheduled Holocaust<br />

conference <strong>by</strong> the Iranian Foreign Ministry in spring or is a separate meeting.<br />

The head of the conference will be Ali-Akbar Mohtashamipur, who used to serve as<br />

interior minister in the 1980s and also known as a co-founder of the Lebanese militia group<br />

Hezbollah during his tenure as ambassador to Syria.<br />

Mohtashamipur will brief the press on Monday on the details of the conference.<br />

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has caused international uproar after he<br />

expressed the hope for the eradication of Israel from Islamic world, called on relocation of the<br />

Jewish state to Europe and America and eventually doubted the extent of the Holocaust, calling<br />

it a "fairy tale."<br />

Iran Holds "Holocaust Myth" Conference<br />

Julie Far<strong>by</strong> - All Headline News Staff Writer<br />

Tehran, Iran (AHN)—At the behest of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a state-run<br />

Iranian university held a Holocaust-denial conference this week. The conference, entitled<br />

"Holocaust: Myth or Reality," was held at Isfahan University, and attended <strong>by</strong> students and<br />

faculty.<br />

Alireza Soltanshahi, a representative of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who<br />

heads the Presidential Office for the Study of the Palestinian Issue, addressed the gathering,<br />

telling participants that the Holocaust myth has turned into an industry for the Zionists to gain<br />

money.<br />

At the Isfahan conference, Soltanshahi also blasted the Zionist regime for what he termed<br />

its attempts to show that the Holocaust is real through various methods, such as establishing<br />

institutions to propagate its memory and offering literary prizes to people who write about the<br />

subject.<br />

According to the report, Ahmadinejad, who came to power in a surprise election victory<br />

last June, has provoked international outrage in recent months <strong>by</strong> labeling the Holocaust a myth<br />

and calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.<br />
