TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Armenian Orthodox primate of the diocese of
Tehran, Archbishop Sebouh Sarkissian, congratulated the Iranian nation
on the victory anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In a message to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah
Seyed Ali Khamenei on Monday, Sarkissian offered his congratulations
to the leader and other high-ranking officials on the 36th anniversary
of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
"The victory of the Islamic Revolution led by the late Imam Khomeini,
revealed the Iranian identity to the international communities,"
he stated.
The Armenian archbishop also expressed the hope that "dear Iran" would
witness further prosperity under the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 36 years ago,
on February 11, 1979, ending the 2,500 years of monarchic rule in
the country.
The Revolution, led by the late Imam Khomeini, established a new
political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
Every year Iranians mark anniversary of their Islamic Revolution from
February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Fajr ceremonies. February 1,
1979 was the date when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile.
On February 11 each year, Iranian people pour into the streets in their
millions to commemorate the great victory of the Islamic Revolution.
