EVENTS DEDICATED TO 28th ANNIVERSARY OF IRI REVOLUTION TO BE HELD IN YEREVAN

YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The Iranian revolution implemented
great and fatal overturn not only in Iran but in all over the
world. Reza Atufi, the Cultural Advisor of the Embassy of Iran to
Armenia stated about it at the January 31 press conference.

"Today Iran is in a more stable state, and the Iranian people keep and
develop achievements of the revolution and the reforms started by it,"
the Advisor said.

In the Culture Advisor’s words, a false propaganda about the
revolution exists in the world starting from the first days of the
Islamic revolution, but it did not influence on the spiritual and
constructive posture of the Iranian people. Iran "was able to overcome
the transitional period and rose dozens of steps." By democratic
marches to take place in different cities of Iran on February 10,
people will prove how they defended and kept their achievements in
different spheres, especially within the framework of the neuclear
energy peace-keeping program," Reza Atufi.

Reza Atufi expressed confidence that the main and first mystery of
this splendid period of the Iranian history is the Ashura movement and
Imam Hussein’s and his 72 co-thinkers’ martyrdom for the sake of
common people’s liberty. "150 mln Moslems of the world again jointly
mourned yesterday Imam Hussein’s martyrdom," the Culture Advisor
emphasized.

Reza Atufi mentioned that numerous national minorities, religious and
spiritual communities, including Armenians, live in Iran which greatly
assist the revolution and creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In his words, the 28th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic
Republic of Iran this time coincided with the month of Moharan and the
Ashura ceremony. Celebrations and jubilee events dedicated to the
28th anniversary of the IRI revolution will be implemented in 100
countries of the world during these days, on the occasion of the 28th
anniversary of the IRI revolution.
