According to Aftab News, Ramin was the one who initiated the idea of "relocation of Israel" and also the idea that "Holocaust is a myth". He himself accepted the full responsibility of this action, as Aftab News reported. In an interview with Financial Times, Ramin stated that he has also initiated the "Holocaust commission" and he is the founder of the Conference on Holocaust in Tehran.[3]
Ramin suggested that Ahmadinejad establish a committee for clarifying the "real extent" of the Holocaust.[4]
Ramin praised President Ahmadinejad for having voiced his doubts over the Holocaust and the need for relocating the Jews to Europe if Europeans really did the massacre during the Second World War.[5]
Following his ideas and suggestions about Holocaust, President Ahmadinejad appointed him as his advisor.[3]
He has a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Ramin studied and lived for decades in Germany and speaks fluently German[citation needed]. He was also the founder of "Islamische Gemeinschaft in Clausthal e.V.". His daughter-in-law is Mahnaz Afshar.
Quotes:
- On Jews: "Historically, there are many accusations against the Jews. For example, it was said that they were the source for such deadly diseases as the plague and typhus. This is because the Jews are very filthy people. For a time people also said that they poisoned water wells belonging to Christians and thus killed them".[6]
- On the West: "When the Islamic Revolution of Iran succeeded and attracted many people around the world, including Christians, the AIDS epidemic came about, and fear again overtook the world. After the September 11 attacks, the deadly epidemic broke out, which was destroyed when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. On the eve of the invasion of Iran, the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) illness broke out, but disappeared after the invasion".[6]
