    IRAN PRESS: DAILY SAYS CULTURAL ACTIVITIES LEADING TO VELVET REVOLUTION IN IRAN

    Jomhuri-ye Eslami website, Tehran
    12 Aug 06

    One of the evening newspapers allocated one of its complete main
    pages to praising Seyyed Hoseyn Nasr and said that a library has been
    established at the Philosophy Society in his name.

    A week later, a review was written on the same page on one of the
    works of Seyyed Hasan Nasr. And a daily, which is financed by public
    funds, issued a 16-page supplement praising this person... [ellipses

    Consequently, Seyyed Hasan Nasr's name started to be mentioned in the
    country's media circles and even provincial publications started to
    carry his articles and ...

    [ellipses as published].

    During his youth, Seyyed Hasan Nasr was a member of the intellectual
    development organization, which was an organization similar to the
    Freemasons Lions or Rotary. During his adulthood, he had links with
    Farah Pahlavi and her office and after joining the Intellectuals Group,
    he began to outline the ideology behind the [late Mohammad Reza]
    Shah's white revolution.

    Following the victory of the [1979] Islamic revolution, Nasr
    left the country and went to live in the US. He began writing the
    [Encyclopaedia] Iranica alongside Yar Shater. He then joined the
    editors group of the Iranian Studies Foundation, run by Mahnaz Afkhami
    and Ashraf Pahlavi and ... [ellipses as published].

    Last week a book called looking for the celestial matter, which
    contained a discussion between Ramin Jahanbeglu and Seyyed Hasan Nasr
    was published by the Nashr-e Ney Publications and distributed in the
    book market. It has been said that it has a lot of typos because it
    was printed with haste.

    Ramin Jahanbeglu is currently under arrest and accused of laying
    the groundwork for a velvet revolution in the country. Velvet
    revolutions are the modern version of coups which are costly and
    have been successfully staged in eastern block countries recently
    by deceived young people in order to change the governments which do
    not move inline with the West's interests. Considering that recently
    many western cultural figures involved in the music, arts and even
    caricature industries, have entered the country, it seems that the
    Iranian velvet revolution branch is trying to arrange the ranks of
    its so-called cultural force by using Seyyed Hasan Nasr's name.

    The names of people such as the Armenian, Loris Cheknavarian,
    a prominent member of Pahlavi's office involved in the music
    industry, Parviz Tanavoli, a lousy sculptor whose most famous work
    was a water-jug in a box, and even the Fardowsi magazine, which has
    the duty of spreading modernity, couldn't tolerate and called it
    an exhibition of Charlatanism, Kambiz D. [initial as published],
    a famous caricaturist on Shapur's team whose books were recently
    published and who held an exhibition with the support of foreign
    embassies, and Aydin Aqdashlu, an element of Farah's office whose
    sabbatical to France was recently cancelled, have been mentioned in
    state newspapers. Finally, Nader Mashayekhi has suspiciously become
    the conductor of Tehran symphonic orchestra. And Radio America
    and Radio Farda are supporting and following up this orchestra's
    performance in Germany under his baton. This is not the first time
    that behind-the-curtain elements have appointed people from outside
    the country to lead our most important national orchestra.

    Despite all of these colourful games and the humiliating defeat of
    the yellow revolution in Ukraine and the failed velvet revolutions in
    Azarbaijan and Belarus, it seems that dreams are the only thing left
    for the elements behind this coup. However, this is no reason for
    [Iranian] officials to remain silent and ignore the issue.
