Al-Hayat daily (London), 7 Dec 2012 – In Paris, Maryam Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the political wing of the Iran’s most significant opposition organization in-exile People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, called on France and the European Union to “recognize the Iranian Resistance” for regime change in Tehran.
“The West’s biggest political error has been to ignore the key movement for change in Iran,” she said before the French National Assembly.

“International sanctions against Iran have been positive measures but they will only be effective if the West changes policy towards the resistance. The only solution in Iran is regime change of by the Iranian people and Resistance”, Rajavi added.
“The French government, that played a leading role in recognizing of the Syrian resistance, should take the initiative of a new policy in the European Union,” she continued.
