Denying the Denying

Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl has denied the Holocaust denying quotes attributed to him by the Iranian government owned daily Jomhouri Islami.

Helmut Kohl’s chief assistant told WorldNetDaily the former German chancellor denies an Iranian newspaper’s claim that he agreed with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s assertion the Holocaust was a myth.

 

Kohl “rejects firmly the insinuated quotes,” said Lutz Stroppe in an e-mail.

 

“The quotations are completely fictitious and the story [is] without any basis.”

 

Stroppe did not respond to questions asking whether his office has contacted the newspaper and learned anything about the origin of the quotes.

    How many newspapers are state-run in Iran, anyway? I know of another one called IRNA, but that’s about it…
