Präsident Ahmadinejad habe eine wissenschaftliche Debatte angestoßen, worauf die Europäer eine Antwort gegeben hätten - jetzt kommt was zum Genießen -,"für die in der zivilisierten Welt kein Platz ist, und die zudem völlig emotional und unlogisch sei", sagte Hamid-Reza Asefi, Sprecher des iranischen Außenministeriums während seiner wöchentlichen Pressekonferenz.

Some leading historians have written books arguing that the Zionists are exaggerating the number of Jews killed during the Second World War when they say that six million Jews were massacred.
