Ahmandinejad claims allies invented the Holocaust

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sent a letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in which he stated that the Holocaust was invented by the allies in order to embarrass Germany. According to Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust, the countries that were victorious in World War II should have allowed the refugees to settle in their countries instead of promoting their settlement in "conquered Palestine". This, he argued, has created a permanent threat in the Middle East. The letter, which was written over a month ago, was only published on Monday, Israel Radio reported.
