Azerbaijan, Baku, July 31 / Trend T. Jafarov /
The occupation of Palestinian lands poses a threat to all countries in the region and all countries must be focused at this issue, Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pakayin said at a press conference on the occasion of Quds Day today.
The ambassador stressed that Iran has a project on liberating Palestinian lands.
"Iran proposes to hold a national referendum in the Palestinian lands," he added. "After taking part in the referendum, all citizens of Palestine will be able to determine their own destiny."
"The project, initiated by Iran, is not directed against Israel and the Jewish people," he said. "Every citizen of Palestine can determine their own destiny by this project implementation."
According to him, Israel does not want the Palestinian people to determine their destiny. All countries, including the Western countries must support the Palestinian people.
He stressed that the U.S and Western countries have spent a lot of money to protect Israel.
Pakayin urged the world countries, especially the Muslim ones, to support Iran's project for the welfare of the Palestinian people.
It should be stressed that Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of Ramadan as Quds day in 1980. The rallies are held in support of the Palestinian people on this day in Iran and some other countries every year.
