Iran:Nowruz celebrated at National Assembly of France

Nowruz celebrated at National Assembly of France

Maryam Rajavi: The people of Iran celebrate Nowruz more enthusiastically than ever; their message is a strong desire for regime change in Iran.

NCRI - The following is the text of remarks by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, at an event celebrating the Persian New Year in France's National Assembly on Tuesday, April 5 2016:

Dear friends in the French houses of parliament,

Honorable supporters of the Iranian Resistance!

In the beginning of the Iranian New Year concurrent with the advent of spring, I wish you, your families and the great nation of France, a year filled with progress and advancements.

The New Year's celebration or Nowruz has been the most important feast of Iranians for thousands of years. Nowruz literally means the renewal of the nature, time and year, and the people's hearts, visions and fate. In fact, this makes up part of the Iranian people's outlook on the world that does not tolerate the status quo and calls for change for better.

The mullahs' religious fascism has not been able for the past 37 years to prevent the celebration of Nowruz. And Iranians have celebrated Nowruz more enthusiastically than ever with their message and demand of regime change and demise of the clerical regime. This has been the Iranian people's consistent desire over the past year demonstrated in 6500 acts of protests.  bragged about bringing about moderation, instead he brought about more executions in Iran and more war in Syria.

Now, he wants to spread the mullahs' repression to Europe. Just a few days ago, he cancelled his visit to Austria because the Austrian Government turned down the Iranian regime's demand to prevent the demonstrations of supporters of the Iranian Resistance. Rouhani fears public expression of outrage over his visit similar to what happened in France.

The mullahs said people would have greater purchasing power after the nuclear accord, but the assets released after lifting of the sanctions went to the coffers of the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and was spent on the wars in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, leaving the people of Iran ever more destitut

Today, the regime has at least 60,000 troops and paramilitary forces in Syria. The mullahs detest the present ceasefire and seek to keep Bashar Assad in power by destroying the opposition. However, a victory in Syria will no longer be conceivable for the mullahs.

Happy New Year!

Hope 2016 brings us Peace & Success in defeating extremism in D World specially in #Iran and #Syria.

#HappyNewYear Wishing everyone happiness. Hope 2016 will end evils of war, Islamic extremism, so peace & freedom heralds in #Iran and the ME.

Happy 2016

Year of victory of democracy& #Humanrights over fundamentalism under Dname of Islam&its epicenter.

Maryam Rajavi’s New Year and Christmas greetings

Maryam Rajavi’s New Year and Christmas greetings

Dear Christians in Iran and everywhere else,

Supporters of the Iranian Resistance across the world,

I would like to greet you on Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ, which has coincided this year with the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad.

I would also like to extend my greetings for the New Year.

I wish  that 2016  would be a year  of unity and victory  over Islamic extremism  and especially  the religious fascism  ruling Iran  and its evil allies  in the Middle East  who sow  the seeds of enmity  in the world.

We remember Jesus Christ when he said:  “Love one another just as I love you”.

Also in the Quran, God says about Mohammad:  “We sent thee as a Mercy for all mankind”.

This is the message of all divine religions and therefore, the coincidence of the two births, is a feast of brotherhood among all nations. 

Fortunate are those who have found the essence of Christianity and Islam in love, compassion and freedom. 

And we salute Virgin Mary, the symbol of love and sacrifice who is described in the Bible as “loved by God”.

The birth and emergence of every prophet mark a new birth for mankind in social life. 

When our world is under the attack of terror and extremism, we can find the light of freedom and tolerance and perseverance against fundamentalism and extremism in these births.

Muslims and Christians can rely on their common values to stand up to those who pervert their religions 

So, in contrast to what the extremists want, we should make our hope and faith in humanity deeper than ever.

Let us hope for a swift end to extremism and for the freedom of the people of Syria from dictatorships of Bashar Assad, Khamenei and Daesh terrorists. 

Let us hope for end to displacement and homelessness of Christians throughout the Middle East.

And let us hope for the relief of Christian converts in Iran from the oppression of ruling mullahs and for freedom of the whole Iranian nation from this religious dictatorship.

On this occasion,  I call on the world community  to form an international front  against the religious dictatorship in Iran  and its proxies and militia  in Syria and Iraq  and to fight Islamic extremism,  the enemy of true Muslims,  Christians  and all followers  of other divine religions.

May the message of compassion, freedom and tolerance engulf the Middle East.

May the world get relieved from tyranny and fundamentalism and have a new birth and revival.

MerryChristmas and Happy New Year to you all.
