(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, MAY 15 - Greece's government on Tuesday
strongly criticized the leader of an extreme right party who
claimed that Nazi concentration camps did not use ovens and gas
chambers to kill prisoners during the Holocaust, as daily
Kathimerini website reports. Government spokesman Pantelis
Kapsis described televised remarks made by Chrysi Avgi (Golden
Dawn) party leader Nikos Michaloliakos as an ''extreme insult to
the memory of millions of Holocaust victims among them tens of
thousands of Greek Jews.'' The spokesman accused the 55-year-old
party leader of distorting history.''
''There were no ovens - it's a lie. I believe it's a lie.
There were no gas chambers either, Michaloliakos said in an interview with Greece's private Mega television, broadcast on Sunday. Michaloliakos and 20 other Golden Dawn candidates were elected to Parliament in May 6 general elections that saw traditionally dominant parties hammered in the crisis-hit country. Kapsis described the remarks as an attempt to revise history. (ANSAmed).
