    Iran's Ardabil protests Israeli president's visit to Azerbaijan


    [Presenter] Following Friday prayers today, representatives of various
    strata of society staged a rally on the Sarcheshme Square in Ardabil
    [city] to condemn a planned visit to Azerbaijan by the head of the
    Zionist regime.

    [Reporter interviewing protesters in Azari] What is the aim of the
    Israeli [president's] visit to Azerbaijan?

    [Unidentified man, in Azari] The aim of Israel is to work against the
    Muslims of Azerbaijan, to separate them from the Muslims of Iran and
    incite discord among them. We strongly condemn this action.

    [Reporter, in Azari] What is the duty of Muslim Azaris?

    [Unidentified protester, in Azari] The duty of Azeris is to unite and
    condemn the visit by staging rallies.

    [Reporter] What is your message for Israel?

    [Another man, in Azari] My message for Israel is: Be calm, criminal
    Israel. It is enough. They have to understand that they cannot do
    anything.

    [Reporter, in Azari] What should be the duty of Muslims in Baku in
    this regard?

    [Unidentified protester, in Azari] They must be vigilant and they must
    decide their destiny by themselves.

    [Reporter, in Azari] What is your motto against Israel today?

    [Protester, in Azari] Our permanent motto is "Death to Israel". Imam
    [Khomeyni] said that it [Israel] is like cancer. We will not be able
    to live in peace until it is eliminated.

    [Unidentified man, in Azari] A man, who is a criminal, a bloodsucker
    and a perpetrator of the killings of children and women and a lot of
    crimes in Gaza, intends to come to Baku and meet high-ranking
    officials. It is the biggest shame for Muslims. We consider this as
    the biggest shame and condemn this strongly.

    [Presenter] During the rally, the Israeli flag was set on fire and a
    six-paragraph statement was read out. This statement condemned the
    killings of women and innocent children by the Zionist regime, and
    made a suggestion to the government of Azerbaijan about its relations
    with the Israeli government. The statement also said that the
    invitation of Shimon Peres indicated the ceding of several Azerbaijani
    territories to Armenia. It called for respect for holy shrines,
    mosques and religious values in Baku. The statement also urged
    Azerbaijani Muslims to protest this action, saying that the diligent
    people of Ardabil are ready to defend Iran's northern border.

    Shimon Peres,president of the aggressor, Israel, will arrive in Baku
    in a few days at the invitation of the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham
    Aliyev.

    [Video shows protesters chanting "Death to America", "Death to
    Israel", and "Death to Britain". Protesters also held a banner reading
    "Ilham is worse than an Armenian; Ilham, fall out with Zionists".]
