Iran Expects Muslims' Massive Turnout in Quds Day Rallies

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran is confident that the International Quds Day on Friday will witnessed stronger enthusiasm this year due to popular uprisings in regional states against US and Israel-backed dictators.
Speaking to the Islamic republic news agency on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast expressed confidence that the Quds rallies will be staged with further zeal and enthusiasm across the world this year amid situation in which the Zionist regime is suffering from an ever growing worries about the public movements in the Middle-East and North Africa.

Describing the issue of Palestine and the holy Quds as one of the most serious ones in the Middle-East, he noted that the Zionist regime, supported by big powers in the region and enjoying their backing for its aggressive acts, thought the situation was quite apt for it to pursue its objectives in the region but now sees that the regional dictatorships are toppled one after another.

He referred to the wave of the Islamic awakening in the Middle-East and North Africa and said the Muslim nations now are more determined to seriously resist against the Zionist regime and help liberate the holy Quds.

He said the regional developments in the past months are indeed movements towards independence of the regional states, participation of people in determining their own destiny and stopping reliance on big powers and the supporters of the illegitimate Zionist regime.

The spokesman further stressed that this wave of public uprisings which is inspired by the grand Islamic Revolution in Iran will naturally follow its due course until the Muslim nations in the region achieve their ideals.

Millions of people are expected to take part in the International Quds Day (Friday, August 26) rallies in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people and all oppressed nations around the world.

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.

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.
