Int'l Quds Day marked all around the globe

TEHRAN(Basirat)- Millions of enthusiastic people round the globe attended the International Quds Day rallies to express solidarity with the Palestinian nation and condemn the Zionist occupiers.
Rallies and ceremonies were held in many countries, such as Syria, Turkey, India, Serbia, Azerbaijan Republic, Afghanistan, and Malaysia where people rushed to the streets to express their solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian nation.

People in various cities of Turkey as well as in the capital after Friday prayers took to the streets in condemnation of Zionist occupiers and chanted slogans against the Zionists and in support of the oppressed Palestinian nation.

In Damascus, Syria, Syrians, Palestinians and Iranians took part in the event to mark the international Quds Day and condemn crimes and atrocities of the Zionist occupiers.

Iran's Ambassador to New Delhi Gholam-Reza Ansari joined the masses of people on International Quds Day and said the Zionist regime is the manifestation of racism, adding that all Muslims should be united to liberate holy Quds.

The world is now witnessing tyranny of the Zionists against oppressed and defenseless Palestinians, he said.

Why do western states along with the US not exert pressure on the Zionists in the same way as they did with South African Apartheid regime to put an end to racism, he asked.

Palestinian Muslims, Jews, and Christians should be free to make decisions on their fate, Ansari said.

Islam is the religion of peace, friendship and kindness and issues such as violence and extremis have no room in Islam, he said.

Late leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini named the last day of the fasting month of Ramadan as International Quds Day in 1979. Since then, Muslims and all freedom seekers of the world pour into the streets in this day to show their solidarity with Palestinians and their anger at the atrocities of the Zionist regime.
