Iran Press/ Iran News: Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, in a telephone conversation with his Algerian counterpart Abdelmadjid Tebbouneon Friday, said: "Disrespecting the Holy Quran is actually disrespecting all divine religions, humanity, and divine values and the Muslim world will not let it pass."
"People should know how those who claim to support freedom of expression disrespect Muslim sanctities arrogantly," he said.
"They are lying; they are not supporters of freedom of expression, speech, and pen. They oppose freedom and want to impose their despotism as freedom of expression on humanity," Raisi added.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Raisi congratulated the Eid al-Adha to Tebbouneon.
He expressed hope that given the two sides' considerable capacities, Iran-Algeria relations will further expand in trade and economic fields.
For his part, President Tebboune congratulated the Iranian government and nation on Eid al-Adha and emphasized defending the Islamic identity and his country's interest in the expansion of relations in all areas.
