AMMAN, October 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's comments that Israel should be "wiped off the map" were unacceptable and would provide more arguments for those countries that wanted to refer the Iranian nuclear dossier to the UN Security Council.

"What I saw on TV is inadmissible. We will make this clear to the Iranian side," Lavrov said upon his arrival in Jordan.

Speaking at a conference, World Without Zionism, in Tehran Wednesday, Ahmadinejad said: ""There is no doubt that the new wave in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot [Israel] from the face of the Islamic world."

He also referred to the founder of Iran's Islamic revolution Ayatollah Khomeini who said that Israel's existence was illegal, and long talked about a world without Israel and the United States.
