- Barack Obama in New York Times
Nowruz is just one part of your great and celebrated culture,Mr. Obama said. "Over many centuries your art, your music, literature and innovation have made the world a better and more beautiful place." - Shimon Peres in International Herald Tribune
Peres spoke in Hebrew for most of the blessing, but then ended his address with a traditional Persian holiday greeting in Farsi: "May your Nowruz be a victory, and every day be Nowruz!" - Manouchehr Mottaki in Sify
Showing a cool reaction to Obama's offer, Mottaki said:"It is nice that Nowruz is used as an occasion for messages of peace and friendship - but as far as other aspects (in the message) are concerned, they are under evaluation," Mottaki said.
