In response to media queries on the Holocaust Denial Conference hosted in Tehran from 11 - 12 December 06 and Iranian President Ahmadinejad's remarks that "the Zionist regime will be wiped out soon the same way the Soviet Union was", the MFA Spokesman said that:
"Singapore is appalled and bewildered by the congregation of various groups in Tehran to debate the occurrence of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a major human tragedy. No debate can change the facts of history or erase the Holocaust from the memory of the world."
