They offer millions of dollars worth of oil from what belongs to the people to places like Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Syria. They let China have unlimited access to the Iranian market, regardless of the obvious consequences it would have on home industry. They give the liberty to Russia to get their own way with their policies, in this contention of the Nuclear issue. They agree with whatever the Central Asian countries do with the Caspian Sea. They give away the Persian Gulf to the Arab regimes surrounding the Persian Gulf who have no need for it at all. The President of a regime who does not even allow anyone mention the name of Khomeini without the title of Imam, attends the twenty eighth gathering of the Council of the “Arabic Gulf” Countries, and also when the Conference, in its resolution takes an anti-Iranian position, he displays no disagreement whatsoever. Its Foreign Secretary leaves an international meeting because a woman in the room is wearing short sleeves but its President does not think that defending the name of Persian Gulf is even worth pointing out to. Those people who consider the regime’s achievement of Nuclear Bomb as a national pride should only look around themselves and see how weak and insignificant this regime is against the others. Our national pride is not in the fact that others feel free to bully our country, to take The Caspian Sea in the north, the Persian Gulf in the south, name any great Iranian who has written a book in Arabic as an Arab and display any creation derived from an Iranian talent, in the name of Arabic and Islamic art. But, before anything else, our national pride is not in having such men handling Iran’s destiny. Statements Fri,7 Dec 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_17_0.html Antwerp 17th & 18th November 2007 (One Country , One Nation) As members of a party that sooner and above any other political organizations, have placed our main priority on the issue of securing independence and national integrity and entirety of Iran, we hereby declare the following statement with our deepest concerns for the future of our country and the greatest responsibility towards our nation:- 1 – The Islamic Republic has jeopardised international security and Iran’s existence and is directly responsible for any possible military attack against Iran and the disasters that will follow as a result of it. 2 – The discriminating and oppressive policies of the Islamic regime in the bordering states of Iran and the conflictive atmosphere that it has hence created, have provided safe grounds for internal separatists and foreign powers, whom by benefiting from the lack of human rights and the frustration of the concerned people, caused by the clergy regime are awaiting an opportunity such as war and military attack, to be able to implement their own plans, which in fact, are to the disadvantage of the Iranian nation. 3 – Three decades of the worst ruling regime that can be remembered in Iran’s more recent history have exhausted our country so much so that it will not be able to survive yet another war and military attack. Therefore our worst predictions could come true. We condemn war at the same time as we condemn The Islamic Republic, and declare that despite all their conflicts with the present regime, Iranians will have no doubts what so ever in defending their homeland. A military attack on Iran will turn the people who are currently the only supporters of America and the west in the region, into their enemies. At the same time, we warn those whom amidst the current crisis are thinking of clearing their ideological accounts, that at this stage our fight is not against America and the west, who have defeated them in this cold war. Even at these times of crisis and most unsuitable alternatives, we remain as supporters of international democracy and human rights, and will not ever be placed in the same category as Islamic terrorism and bankrupted dictators of the third word countries. Our people must not keep on going from worse to worst during the times of crisis, under the influence of their raised emotions. The worst critical feelings and the most rightful arguments must not be used for personal and ideological purposes. Thirty years ago our people made such a mistake and it should not be repeated. 4 – The rights of the Iranian tribes can be obtained in accordance with the international resolution of the human rights, within the frames of one country (the entirety of Iran)and one nation (the only Iranian nation, which consists of several different tribes and religions),and a non-centralised government, that we call local governments, and so there is no need to encourage aggression within tribes and conflicts over languages. By emphasising on the Party’s manifesto and its attached resolution regarding absence of concentration and tribal rights, once again we invite all groups who are aiming to determine the cultural rights of Iranian tribes and un-centralisation of the governing regime to take advantage of the readiness of almost all freedom seekers for Iran, in provoking a pioneering and humane strategy for the future of Iran. Iran in its entirety, which is raised from multitudes, can easier provide the best life for all Iranians. Policies and slogans which will unavoidably lead to a civil war, tribal and language wipe out, and foreign interference, before anything else is to the disadvantage of the tribes upon which history, geography and linguistics are based, and have already severely interfered with our struggles against the regime so far. We hope that tribal organizations recognize our sincere will for correlation and that they shake our hands of friendship that we offer to them so that together we build a free and nurtured Iran that no one can ever again suppress or expose to discrimination. 5 – As stated in band one of CPI’s manifesto, which has been mentioned in many formal documents and literatures over and over again, “ we will defend independence, solidarity and national integrity which are above all importance for us, for any price and in any situation.”, and therefore we will leave no doubts for anyone that in case of war and separation in Iran, our position will temporarily be next to those forces, regardless of their backgrounds, that are defending solidarity and national entirety of Iran, for any reason whatsoever. Firstly, we will preserve our country and then we will return to our struggles against a regime which is responsible for all of our bad fortunes and darkened days. We do not wish to free Iran and gain democracy and human rights under the shadows of American bombs. The Islamic Republic will eventually go but Iran will not be returned if anything happens to her. 6 – In circumstances of crisis and conflictions all suspicions must firstly be rectified. Those who are making plans to attack Iran must rest assured that they will not be welcomed by the people. Those who are under assumptions that Iran will brake free from Islamic Republic if America attacks Iran, must recognise that war will only complete what the Islamic Republic has not been able to achieve. Those who relate the regime’s possession of atomic bombs with national pride must be aware of its dreadful consequences that will follow. Those who assume they can split our country and nation into different pieces, in the name of “ The rights of the nations” must come to understand what a concrete resilience they will be faced with. 7 – As ever, and without prejudice, our Party is willing to co-operate and co-ordinate with any political forces who acknowledge the present exceptional situation and that are willing to unite in saying ‘NO TO WAR, NO TO THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC, NO TO SEPERATION’ . Statements Sun,18 Nov 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_16_0.html Demonstrations held by the people in Tehran and other cities, vastly accompanied by setting fire to Petrol Stations, have taken place in protest against a regime that is so generous in giving away the people’s wealth and belongings to terrorist likes of Hezbollah of Lebanan, Hamas of Palastine, and dictatorial likes of Syria and Cuba, instead of spending these funds to fulfil their own people’s needs and comforts. The Islamic regime in Iran is in possession of a vital sector of the world’s gas and oil reserves and its oil income is beyond calculation. However, it is pouring billions of Dollars into the never filling pit of nuclear enrichment program instead of providing its own people with their basic needs. This in turn, has resulted in the threat of war against Iran. Those people who have no choice but to take up two or three jobs in order to make ends meet, naturally cannot tolerate any extra expenses and the increase of petrol prices. It is no wonder that people are displaying their frustration by setting fire to petrol stations and attacking stores. A combination of ascending poverty, ever growing class differences and anti people’s policies of a regime that is constantly at service of terrorists and other foreign governments consequently results to such incidents. Statements Wed,27 Jun 2007 2:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_15_0.html First of May this year correlating with a new era for the worker’s movement in Iran bears a distinctive meaning. What emerged from the input of the struggles of the worker’s front last year, alongside the students’ and women’s movements has undoubtedly placed them ahead of the front line of the battles of the Iranian civil society against corruption, despotism and the unworthy government. By following their trade demands, such as the very important right to form independent syndicates and by making many sacrifices workers have put the Islamic regime face to face with a very serious downfall and the movement that has commenced is so powerful that all the suppression of the regime will not be able to stop it. Currently leaders of this powerful movement of workers, in addition to persuading their own struggles are also facing a strategic substitute that not only in the general battle against the regime but also in formation of the country’s future will be greatly influential. The worker’s movement can see itself as the heart of the struggles of the Iranian civil society and national political battles, or it can turn it into a form of war between classes. A new danger that the movement is facing is the perseverance of many groups who are trying to divert the worker’s struggles. If the workers join up with the other forces of the civil society a powerful force will be formed against which the Islamic Republic will have no power. However, battle of classes could cause a split amongst the active fronts that it would only result in further strengthening of the regime. Those who see the Iranian society as the war ground of different forces and layers of society are not paying attention to the fact that the real battle now is between the people and the regime. Differences of economical interests are a fact and every group has the rights to have its own agenda, but under no circumstances should diversions be allowed to be made in the real and immediate fronts of the struggles. Those who speak with the language of forty or fifty years ago are not representatives of a future of Iran that not only will be built on the ruins of the Islamic Republic but also on the ruins of the worker’s paradise. Statements Tue,1 May 2007 2:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_14_0.html The Islamic regime, through its self-deceit and false illusion of power has become engaged in a battle against Iranian people on one hand, and the international community on the other. The attacks of the reactionary and suppressive forces from all angles towards women, workers, students and teachers, shutting up the voices of intellectuals and demolishing historical inheritances of Iran which are like thorns in the petty eyes of the Islamists (religious ideologists), is one aspect of the battle; the other aspect is the armed intrusions, wherever possible to worsen the situation; and finally the atomic crisis which could end up as a very hefty price for the country. Although international support to the Iranian people is not ineffective, the main weight of this struggle lies upon the shoulders of those who are under more direct pressure. Outside the country anything possible has been done and more will be done so; freedom seekers and fighters, being from any opposition group recognise no other responsibility greater than this, however it is ultimately up to the people in Iran whom by saying NO to the regime and resisting its violations will dismantle one of the worst ruling governments in Iranian history. The extreme difficulties of life and struggles in Iran are absolutely acknowledged by all and no miracles can be expected from the people, however the more prolonged the life of this foolish and corrupt regime, the more difficult life becomes for the people, and the more the people give in, the longer this regime will exist. There are no other ways other that the resilience in the way that women, students and workers have been showing with their daily sacrifices and heroisms. Change of regime implemented by outside forces and by means of bombardment and military intrusion can endanger our national existence and above all this does not serve justice to a nation such as that in Iran. It is the people of Iran whom lead by the most pioneering social forces and with their continuous political battle and resilience, be it in any stage or category and however minute, could put an end to this unworthy and undeveloped government. Today, it is the women of Iran who are thrown into jails in their thousands for saying No to having to wear the Islamic head-scarf; yesterday it was university students who gave in to prison sentences for the sake of freedom; another day workers are deprived of freedom just as they were deprived of their wages for many months, for having committed an “offence�?, in their endeavouring to form syndicates; and so everyday in some part of the country there is a kind of crises that comes to the boiling point and the blood of someone’s child is spilt by the hands of the revolutionary guards and the regime’s forces. These sacrifices and courageous acts will not cease. The people are well aware of the rights and privileges that have been taken away from them and have been deprived of. The Islamic Republic can carry on attending to “Islam�? and their atomic bombs, however the people have their own needs and demands and they refuse to remain in standstill. Statements Mon,30 Apr 2007 2:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_13_0.html Many happy returns for the new year to the Iranian nation! The passing year has witnessed the rising struggles of the people. Women with their campaign for a million signatures commenced a movement, unique to the whole region, which has startled a deathly chime to the social laws of the middle ages. Workers reached their objective voices to the international community with accelerating dedication and awareness. The courageous protests by the students confirmed the beginning of the end to the worst Islamic Republic President. The teachers’ movement placed the regime in one of its greatest downfalls. This year begins with worsening conditions for the regime and greater hopes for the people. Iranians have every right to look at the future with higher expectations. Their perseverance has protected national characteristics and values against the encroachments of a group of strangers and foreign worshipers. Once again those of pro-Arab mentality have been defeated in their suppression of nationalistic feelings of Iranians, and are presently being destroyed under the weight of their own corruptions and indecencies. This is now the time when the people of Iran should gather around slogans of democracy, human rights, independence and solidarity for Iran, and stand together against the threat of war, and fight for the freedom and reconstruction of Iran whilst maintaining their own views and strategies. The end to the Islamic Republic nightmare is getting closer and astonishing powers are gathering their forces together in order to overthrow the clergy regime. It is the people that play the main role, whom with their intelligence have revealed all deceitful actions by the regime. If the people accumulate their forces together the regime will be abolished before they destroy the remainders of the country. In the midst of ascendant break ups and confrontations with immeasurable threats, we are confidant that with the vital forces of this endurable and tolerant nation we can remain more optimistic about the future. Statements Wed,21 Mar 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_11_0.html The Eighth of March, International Women’s Day Today 8th March is the International Women’s Day. The Constitutionalist Party of Iran’s women’s Committee herby declares its support for this wise, pioneer and unstoppable movement by the freedom seeking women within the country and urges all our compatriots all over the world and inside the country not to refrain from supporting the battle of inequality of freedom, by Iranian women against despotism and suppression. In today’s world, a society in which men and women are deprived of equal rights is certainly not a free and civilised environment. Iranian women throughout the last 28 years have never stopped for a moment in their endeavouring for passing through these battlegrounds of inequality. This fight has now reached its most controversial stage and no power can impede this movement for freedom any longer. In the last few days The Islamic Republic regime has increased the level of suppression to its maximum level and is trying hard to cause obstacles for this action for freedom by imprisoning some of its leaders. Women of Iran have never demanded anything other than acknowledgement of their human rights and there is no reason whatsoever for them to be suppressed, jailed and tortured. The Women’s Committee of the Constitutionalist Party of Iran hereby urges our compatriots all over the world to inform the international community of this injustice upon Iranian women by contacting Human Rights institutions in the countries of their residence and request their assistance. May this freedom seeking movement by Iranian women be a victorious one. Statements Thu,8 Mar 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_12_0.html After a short period of stillness and uncertainty the Iranian civil society has recommenced its chain style battle in the forms of demonstrations, disobedience, strikes and publications of statements. The worker’s movement which has now discovered one its best leaders in Mansour Osanlou follows the trade demands such as forming syndicates and finds a refreshed strength each time it is suppressed. Workers who have not been paid their wages in six and seven months put a section of the oncoming storm on display and demonstrate with bare feet against a President whose whole task is about weapons, Hezbollah and Hamas. Students, by holding courageous demonstrations from time to time are keeping the rebellious flames alive. Women make 8th March as an excuse not to let deprivations of the greatest minority of the society, meaning women who are the majority of the population be forgotten. Prison, detention and fierce actions by the national security guards and the mobilized police have no greater impact other than to keep determination for the struggles alive and strong. Now teachers, by carrying out demonstrations and strikes are putting the clergy regime into its greatest downfall ever. The regime is able to drive workers to the ever-growing queues of poverty and hunger by closing down factories and substituting imports instead of production. It is also able to send students to compulsory military services and put national duties in place of imprisonment. It can let women undergo hunger strikes until their health have been put in jeopardy. However, the strikes by the teachers will be felt in every part of the society. The strength of teachers has no substitute and schools cannot be kept closed for long. At the same time that the international pressures are increasing the strongest layers of society have reached such conditions that the regime is not leaving much for the people to loose. The hopes of all of those who are against war, against the regime’s adventurous foreign policy and against the Nuclear enhancement programme are on this civil society which form the main powerful opposition to the Islamic Republic regime. Statements Thu,8 Mar 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_10_0.html Having considered the report made by the special commission, consisting of Dr. Hossein Yazdi, Mr. Bahman Amirhosseini and Mr. Amin Makooe, concerning Mr. Nasser Jahangiri, chairman of the Düsseldorf branch of the Party, and actions undertaken by him during the last four years which lead to the necessity of forming such commission, members of the CPI Central Council, at a meeting on 14 January 2007 unanimously voted to dismiss him from the Party, in accordance of the interests of the CPI and its members; therefore Mr. Nasser Jahangiri will no longer have any connections with this Party. We would like to remind all members that they must strongly refrain from passing on any information about the party’s activities and CPI members to Mr. Nasser Jahangiri. Statements Sun,14 Jan 2007 1:00:00 +0000 http://irancpi.net/shakhe/elamiyeh/matn_8_0.html The upheaval of the atomic crises, the hefty defeat faced by the Islamic regime from the decision of the Security Council and the increasing concerns of America over the interference of that regime in Iraq, have ironically once again reminded the heads of the Islamic Republic of their nationalistic sensitivities. A government whose high rank officials, at formal events smile satisfactorily when Iran is regarded as an Arabic Islamic Republic country and display no remorse for the likes of ‘Razi’ and ‘Ebne Cina’ to be regarded as Arabs, all of a sudden dig out the national anthem of Iran from the stilled archives of the past and by playing it they aim to use the patriotic feelings of the people in the aim to gather their support behind them. This is the very same regime that intentionally demolishes the remainders of the old Persian civilization so that our national honourable past gets erased from memories. Their love for Iran and Iranians is so much so that even after many years since the earthquake that shook Bam, the residents are still left to survive in the mess of the aftermath and yet they spend hundreds of millions of dollars for a rapid re-construction of Lebanon. They take no notice of the cries of workers who have not been paid their salaries for at least seven months, however as soon as the leader of the terrorist group ‘Hamas’ pays a visit to Tehran, he is given a lump sum of $250,000 in one payment alone and they accept to pay out the salaries of one hundred thousand Palestinian employees for six months on the expenses of the deprived Iranian people. The people of Iran are aware of such issues and will not tolerate the deceitful acts of this regime. The likes of Khamenehie and Ahmadinejad cannot drag our people with themselves into the dumping grounds that are awaiting them. The home-land of Iranians is in Iran , not in Palestine and Lebanon and southern Iraq. Iran belongs to all Iranians and not just to the Shiites mullahs. Developing nuclear weapons is not to the national interest of Iran which will subsequently place our country face to face with condemnation, sanctions and most probably far greater dangers.
