Dr.Ahmadinejad called his Afghan counterpart Saturday evening and expressed his grief over the tragic event on the Day of Ashura (November 29) in Afghanistan.



“The occurrence of such events shows that enemies of Afghanistan do not want unity, peace and tranquility to be established in this country,” said President Ahmadinejad.



He expressed sympathy with the government and people of Afghanistan and said those people who attack defenseless mourners are villainous persons and enemies of humanity, brotherhood and religion.



Karzai, for his part, expressed gratitude to Dr. Ahmadinejad and said that the current situation of the region requires that countries like Iran and Afghanistan be with each other more than ever and work hard for peace and security.
