Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad has arrived in Caracas for funeral of President Hugo
Chavez. Speaking to reporters in Caracas, Ahmadinejad said Chavez was “a very close friend and brother.”
“He was a dear friend to all the countries of the world. To us,
President's Chavez loss is very painful because we've lost a friend, a close
friend and a revolutionary and just leader. To me, he had a big personality and
a very close friend and brother. I feel like I lost myself,” Ahmadinejad said. “I
am certain God will help us and the spirit of President Chavez will be watching
us and will help us from the heavens.” (RTV, 8 March)
