    Tehran's Armenians Rap Charlie Hebdo's Insulting Cartoon

    January 19, 2015 - 19:21


    TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Armenian Diocese of Tehran condemned French
    weekly Charlie Hebdo for printing an insulting cartoon of Islam's holy
    Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

    Speaking in a cultural ceremony in Iran's capital on Monday, Sahak
    Khosravian, representative of the Archbishop of Armenian church in
    Tehran, lashed out at the French satirical magazine for its
    sacrilegious move.

    "The Armenian Diocese of Tehran, for its part, condemns such a move.
    We condemn insults to any dear prophet as a shameful action, and hope
    that such moves would not occur anywhere in the world," Khosravian
    stressed.

    The French magazine has repeatedly aroused Muslim ire by publishing
    cartoons mocking holy Prophet Muhammad.

    Known for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, as well as critical
    depictions of other religions and French politicians, the magazine
    regularly stirred controversy.

    The Wednesday's edition of Charlie Hebdo, which sold millions of
    copies, shows a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad holding a "Je suis
    Charlie"("I am Charlie") sign, a slogan widely used following the
    January 7 attack on the magazine.
