/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday
that the objection of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to
remarks by Israeli President Shimon Peres was "a genuine expression of
the heartfelt feelings of both the Turkish people and other nations
worldwide."

Erdogan walked off the stage after an angry exchange with the Israeli
president, Shimon Peres, during a panel discussion on Gaza at the
World Economic Forum on Thursday, and vowed never to return to the
annual gathering.

Ahmadinejad hailed Erdogan’s reaction as "praiseworthy" and said the
Turkish PM, as a human being who felt deeply for human dignity and
justice, "behaved the way he was expected in condemning the Zionist
crimes and its barbaric atrocities," KUNA reports.
