Tehran -- Head of Tehran's Islamic City Council Mehdi Chamran said here Thursday that two plagues in memories of the victims of chemical weapons used during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war will be installed in Tehran.
Speaking to reporters, he said the plagues will temporarily be installed in Ferdowsi street in front of the building where chemical victims have been hospitalized.
The plagues are to demonstrate the crimes of those who have a hand in the manufacturing of chemical weapons, he said.
Germany was one of the most important country which provided Saddam with chemical weapons, he pointed out.
All country's officials as well as Iranian people blamed Germany as the culprit for Saddam's crimes and never forget the crimes of Germany during the Second World War, he said. He called the installation of a memorial plague in front of Mykonos restaurant in Berlin a joke.
Germany is now under question and 'we are to indict them in various courts and will never ignore our rights', he underlined.
A number of local German officials attended the special ceremony in which a plague to mark the memory of those killed in Mykonos restaurant was unveiled in Berlin last Tuesday.
