Tehran, april 28, irna -- the leader of the Islamic revolution said on tuesday the
"disgraceful" peace talks between arab governments and the zionist regime are
aimed at quelling the uprising of palestinian Muslims in the occupied
territories.
"the Islamic republic favors and promotes peace and, above all, is an advocate f
brotherhood between Muslims and other human beings, but is against negotiations being held
apparently for peace but actually for recognition and legalization of a great
tyranny," ayatollah ali khamenei said. the supreme leader, talking to officials in
charge of hajj pilgrimage, expressed hope that the arab-israeli talks would not lead to
signing of an agreement. "nobody has the right to sign an agreement on behalf of the
palestinian people, and sell palestine to those who have usurped it," ayatollah
khamenei made it clear. the u.s. by involving arab governments in such disgraceful
negotiations has made a blunder, the supreme leader said. he said the engagement of arab
governments in the shameful talks with the zionist regime would only serve to widen their
gap with their nations and arouse people's anger and hatred towards them. "like a
beggar stretching out his hand, the head of the egyptian regime has met with the
u.s.
president to complain about iran. but he should complain
about Islam and his own Muslim people rather than iran," the leader of the Islamic
revolution said. the chivalrous and Muslim nation of egypt enjoy an outstanding background
in the history of Islam and great glories gained in the course of Islamic struggles and
therefore, there is no doubt that it will not tolerate the treasons of their
statesmen, he said. elsewhere in his remarks, the leader likened the tragedy of bosnia-herzegovina to an
ever lasting picture depicting the betrayal of and catastrophies created by the
u.s. and
some european countries. ayatollah khamenei said it is ridiculous that the u.s. and those
european countries are pretending to feel sorry for the bosnian people. "the claims
of the u.s. about sending relief supplies for the bosnian people and about economic
blockade of serbs are false and unfounded," the leader said.
