    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani phoned Turkish
    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to thank him on behalf of Iranian
    people and parliament for his behavior at Davos panel last Thursday.

    Larijani told Erdogan that he became "the voice of the free conscience
    with his bold speech."

    He also thanked Erdogan for "attracting the world's attention to the
    crimes against humanity committed by Israel."

    "Iran's Parliament appreciates and praises this humane and dignified
    behavior," Larijani said.

    A senior Iranian cleric Ayatollah Naser Makerem-Shirazi said Sunday
    that the Turkish PM should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his
    courageous move at the World Economic Forum, the Anatolia News
    Agency reports.

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

    "When it comes to killing, you know well how to kill," he told Peres.
