WASHINGTON ─ Dec. 15, 2006 ─ The Arab American Institute (AAI) is deeply disturbed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s gathering of Holocaust deniers in Tehran.

“We reject the conference’s very premise,” said AAI President Dr. James Zogby. “By seeking to prey off anger and frustration, this conference has only served to aggravate an already fragile political situation in today’s troubled Middle East. This distasteful gathering of anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers has served no purpose other than promoting hate and creating fear.”
