President Ahmadinejad denounces Annapolis confab

No injury deeper than the Palestinian tragedy has ever hurt the body of the world of Islam, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a gathering of the members of the Basij Organization on Sunday.

"The Zionist regime has been committing crimes and murders in Palestine over the past sixty years," Ahmadinejad added, adding that the global arrogance had been trying in the past sixty years to deprive the oppressed Palestinian nation from its rights.

"They have designed a new plot now to further abuse the issue," Ahmadinejad said in reference to the Annapolis confab in the United States.

Ahmadinejad underlined a growing inclination on the part of the Palestinian people towards the option of resistance, adding that the coming to power of revolutionary and uncompromising figures in the latest Palestinian elections was proof to that argument.

"Following the elections (when Hamas was voted into office), Zionist regime's supporters have carried out many seditions," the President said, warning that the advocates of the regime want to wring concessions in favor of the criminal Zionists through the Annapolis confab.

The President reprimanded the invitees to the so-called 'peace' confab for their positive response, calling it repetition of failure.

"They have participarted in such confabs during the past sixty years, but they haven't achieved any result," Ahmadinejad said.

"These kinds of confabs are only in favor of the Zionist regime," the President said.

Ahmadinejad regretted that the Annapolis confab is set to be held in a country that is the base and supporter of the Zionists.

"The Palestinian nation is alive and awakened and will never ignore its rights," the President underlined.

Ahmadinejad noted that none of those who were to take part in the confab are representing the Palestinian nation.

Ahmadinejad then recalled the Zionist regime's weak conditions, saying "the regime is going downward."

"The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to the dignity of the human being," he said, adding "those who take part in such confabs as the Annapolis meeting will leave no good records in history."
