 IRAN PROTEST TO GERMANY FOR MYKONOS COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE
TEHRAN 21 Apr. (IPS) Iran protested Wednesday to Germany for the official inauguration, on Monday, in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district of a commemorative plaque in the memory of four Iranian Kurdish leaders assassinated on 21 September 1992 in an Iranian restaurant on order from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
For its part, the German embassy in Tehran explained that the plaque had been prepared and installed on a decision by a Berlin district authority and German government had had no role in it, hoping that the "incident" would not affect the "friendly" Iran-German relations.
In anger, the Iranian authorities hastily inaugurated a plaque in front of the German Embassy in central Tehran denouncing Germany’s "atrocities", referring to the chemical weapons Saddam Hussein used against Iranian soldiers, deadly arms he got from Germany.
