Iranian President Calls Israel Main Terrorist Hub in World

TEHRAN, May 15 (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described Israel as the center of world terrorism and oppression against innocent people.
"The reason for our insistence that the Zionist regime should be wiped out and vanished is that the Zionist regime is the main base for imposing oppression and harbors the main terrorists of the world," Ahmadinejad said in a meeting here on Sunday with participants in the "Tehran International Conference on Global Alliance against Terrorism for Just Peace".

He said to fight terrorism, the foundation of the world institutions and bases and pillars of the world system which are ruled by the US-led West should be changed to establish a fair global management system first.

Iran on Saturday inaugurated an international conference dubbed Global Alliance against Terrorism for Just Peace with more than 1,000 Iranian and foreign figures and thinkers in attendance.

The Head of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Taskhiri, the Secretary General of the International Ahlul Bayt World Assembly Mohammad Hassan Akhtari as well as 150 foreign thinkers and hundreds of Iranian activists on peace and campaign against terrorism attended the conference.

The gathering mainly sought creation of mutual understanding, wise thinking and international fair efforts to annihilate terrorism.

Also four specialized meetings with the topic of terrorism were held on the sidelines of the conference.

The international conference wrapped up work on Sunday.
