These was his original statement:

"Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of 
innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if 
anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw 
them in jail," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

"Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our 
question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by 
Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?" he said.

"If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in 
Europe -- like in Germany, Austria or other countries -- to the Zionists 
and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of 
Europe and we will support it."

You'll note that he said that "we don't accept this claim".


Mahmood's reply:

At least within the Iranian community, even among the fascist Islamic thugs who 
rule the county, there is no doubt as what Ahmadinejad said about holocaust and 
Jewish people.

Read your own translation one more time. It clearly shows that Ahmadinejad, 
similar to to all fascist hooligans, KKK, skin heads, and all sort of Nazi 
demagogues, denies the brutal murder of Jews and holocaust.  

When he says "we do not accept this claim" he is referencing to the "claim" 
that millions of Jew people were murdered by the Nazi regime in Germany.  Plus, 
immediately after that, based on the translation you have given, he says,  "if 
we suppose it is true." As you can understand, he means that he does not 
believe that "claim."

I am trying to find the actual Farsi text of his speech at the Islamic 
Conference.  When I find it, I will translate the relevant section.

For your information, here is what Ahmadinejad has said in his toady's speech 
in Zahedan, Iran. 

"In regard to Zionist claim based on murder and burning of 6 million Jews 
during the World War II, he (Ahamdinejad) explained: in Western countries if 
someone oppose this claim, they will be punished and imprisoned.  So, it is 
clear that they are very serious in their claim.  The question is if you killed 
these people, why do the Palestinians have to pay for it?" This Translation is 
from the Farsi version of his speech as posted by official Iranian news agency. 
  

As you can see, just like all anti-Semites, Nazi holocaust is called "Zionist 
claim."
