Archbishop Calls for Iranians' Massive Turnout in Quds Day Rallies
TEHRAN (FNA)- Archbishop of Armenians in Western Iran Grigor
Chiftchian condemned the Zionist regime of Israel's war crimes against
innocent Gazans, and called for the massive participation of the
Iranians in the International Quds Day rallies across the country.
Archbishop Chiftchian invited Armenian-Iranian community to take to
the streets on Friday along with other compatriots to mark the
International Quds Day.
He said that people should massively turnout in the rallies to show
their outrage at the Israeli atrocities against the civilians in the
Gaza Strip, and express support for the Palestinian nation in their
resistance against the Zionist occupation.
Israel has been pounding the blockaded Gaza for 18 consecutive days
now, killing at least 800 people and injuring more than 5,500 others.
According to the UN, 77% of the victims in Gaza are civilians and
defenseless people.
Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been carrying out incessant
airstrikes against Gaza.
On July 17, thousands of Israeli soldiers also launched a ground
invasion into the densely-populated Strip.
Millions of people are expected to take part in the International Quds
Day rallies in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people today.
The International Quds Day is an annual event opposing Israel's
occupation of Beitul-Muqaddas. Anti-Zionist rallies and demonstrations
are held on the last Friday of Ramadan in Muslim and Arab countries
around the world, specially in Iran.
Similar rallies have also been held in non-Muslim countries across the
world in the last two decades.
The International Quds Day was started by the late Founder of the
Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in 1979 as a way of expressing
solidarity with the Palestinians and underscoring importance of the
holy Quds to Muslims.
Analysts say the Quds rallies will be staged with further zeal and
enthusiasm across the world this year as the Zionist regime is
intensifying its pressures and aggressions against people in the
besieged Gaza Strip.
