We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with reporting on the conference of the Coalition of Iranian Opposition Groups (CIOG) in Washington D.C., which was held on Saturday at the George Washington University to discuss the current situation in Iran and how to form an alternative system of governance to replace the Islamic republic regime.
The Conference was attended by representatives of Iranian ethnic peoples, as well as other opposition groups from a wide spectrum of political tendencies, including secular democrats, constitutional monarchists and republicans.
The overwhelming message of the Conference was that the main objective of all Iranian opposition groups is to free Iran from the claws of the dictatorial regime of the mullahs and establish a secular democratic system of governance for Iran where the human and civil rights of all its citizens will be respected, regardless of their religious, ethnic or ideological background.
One of the speakers at the Conference, the Iranian Kurdish leader Abdullah Mohtadi of the Komola Party pledged that Iran’s ethnic peoples are fighting for a secular and free country in which they all live along each other in peace and harmony.
The participants also conveyed their points of view to the Americans that the Iranian opposition is not only confined to Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.
However, the Conference was not devoid of the expected attacks from the despotic regime of the Islamic republic and its paid agents and the followers of Maryam Rajavi.
In the second part of the program we will look at the upcoming historic meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un. The North Korean state-run news agency has announced that Kim is committed to discussing how to create a sustainable peace in the Korean Peninsula, while President Trump has also made it clear that his priority in talks with Kim will be to secure peace once forever and he is not attending this meeting as a publicity stunt or photo shoot.
The position of the Iranian regime with regards to this historic meeting is one of panic and concern as it has for long had a special office in North Korean capital through which it has been pursuing its nuclear and missile programs and in the event of a US-North Korea agreement all the billions of dollars of money that the mullahs have invested in those programs will evaporate overnight.
