(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - He made the remarks in a meeting with foreign guests for commemorating 23rd anniversary of Imam Khomeini's sad demise in Tehran.

"Imam khomeini revived the sprite of anti arrogance for the world freedom and justice seekers and well understood that Zionist regime is the backbone of new colonialism," Ahmadinejad said.

He said late Imam Khomeini was considering Zionists as symbol of colonialism, arrogance, slavery and all historical evils.

"Imam Khomeini addressed and provoked the nature of all human beings, therefore all moderate, truth and perfection seekers of the world responded to his calls for justice".

"The divine figures are above all boundaries of geography, color and religions," Ahmadinejad said citing Imam Khomeini. "The Imam stood up for the freedom of all human beings not only for Muslims. Therefore, he belongs to entire Muslim nations in addition to Iranians."
