The audience in addition to “Allah-o-Akbar (God is the Greatest) slogans shouted Death to America and Death to Israel slogans during Ahmadinejad’s presence.
The Iranian president appreciated the Turkish government and nation, particularly the worshipers among them and described the two nations of Iran and Turkey as “great, civilization maker, brother nations.”
The president said that the two nations are the “standard bearers of humanity and moralities” emphasizing, “Everyone should know that the relations between the two countries are friendly brotherly and deep rooted today and that the two countries would stand side by side of each other till to end of the line.”
Ahmadinejad reiterated, “The future of the two countries is bright and their victory in campaign against the oppressors is near at hand, after which we would all attend the celebrations for our victory.”
Elsewhere in his address the president said, “In the name of freedom and the human rights the materialist powers have launched many wars against the mankind, having killed more than 100 million human beings so far.”
Ahmadinejad reiterated, “The materialist powers have imposed the Zionist regime resorting to military force against the world nations, particularly against the Middle East and regional nations, and they have thus been creating many unmatched crimes in the course of sixty some years of its history, that have been unprecedented in the history of mankind, the last of which has been invading the Gaza Peace Flotilla.
Ahmadinejad said, “Resorting to the human rights pretext they occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, where they massacred or wounded hundreds of thousands of the people of those countries.”
Ahmadinejad reiterated, “The materialist world has ruined the personality of nations, looted their wealth and insulted their cultures and their value systems.”
Pointing out that the oppressors have now reached the end of the line and the Zionist regime and its masters are on the verge of collapse, Ahamdinejad condoled with the Turkish citizens on the occasion of the martyrdom of some of their fellow citizens in the incident of the Israeli attack against the Gaza Peace Flotilla.
He further emphasized, “Pursing this path would lead you nowhere, but to victory for the Turkish nation.”
The Zionist army on Monday morning last week launched a military operation comprised of its air force, parachute guerillas, and marines, on a decision made by the Israeli war minister Ehud Barack, the support of that regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leadership of the Zionist regime’s joint chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi, leading to an attack against the international peace Flotilla at international water in the Mediterranean Sea.
The bloody attack cost the precious lives of 20 peace activists and wounding of over 50 others, as well as taking captive the entire other members of the peace caravan for a few days.
Nine of the martyrs of the cruel attack were Turkish, from Turkey.
The volunteers in the caravan were from 40 countries.
The president also paid homage to the tomb of Abu Ayyoub Ansari, amid the circle of the warm blooded Turkish worshipers after performing the evening congregational prayer together. d - 4
