Al-Raya’ daily (Qatar), 26 Dec 2012 – Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, welcomed Bahrain Foreign Minister’s proposal for a “Friends of Iran” conference, emphasizing while the religious fascism ruling Iran is pursuing a ruthless battle against the Iranian people and an aggressive war against the countries and nations of the region such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen and …, such a conference is necessary to confront this regime, and in line with peace, friendship and brotherhood in the region.
“A regime that stands alongside the Syrian dictator with full force commanding, guiding and providing financial and arms support for the Syrian people’s massacre, and continues its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, has endangered peace and tranquility in the region, especially in neighboring countries,” Rajavi said in this statement.
Rajavi added the Iranian people and Resistance support the establishment of this conference by all means, and without a doubt various parliamentary groups, renowned dignitaries from across the world and prominent international jurists, who have for the past years supported the Iranian people and Resistance in their struggle to topple the religious fascism ruling in Iran and establish democracy, welcome and support the establishment of such a conference.
Bahrain Foreign Minister Sheikh Khaeld bin Ahmad al-Khalifah had stressed on the necessity of holding a conference of the friends of the innocent Iranian people.
