Ahmadinejad to Deliver ‘Peace’ Message to UN Assembly

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who sparked outrage last week by again calling the Nazi Holocaust a “myth,” will bring a message of peace to the United Nations General Assembly, an aide said.

Ahmadinejad’s “most important message this year is to have peace and friendship with all nations and exchanges that are based on justice and mutual respect,” Mohammad Jafar Mohammadzadeh, an information deputy in the president’s office, told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

The Iranian leader will leave Tehran tomorrow to attend the General Assembly meeting at the UN in New York, the aide said.
