Isfahan, the City of Polish Children

The play will be first staged at the Honar (Art) Hall in Isfahan on November 23. The group will then leave the city for Tehran to stage the play at the City Theatre Complex.

A number of Iranian teenagers have been working on the Iranian version of the play in 24 rehearsal sessions, according to a Farsi report by Khabar Online.

To be staged by Iranian actors, the play revolves around the migration of a group of Polish people to Iran during the World War II.  At the turn of 1942, a group of Polish refugees arrived in Iran on a ship via the Caspian Sea.

The central city of Isfahan shelters over 2500 Polish children who had lost at least one of their parents. Along with other Iranian cities like Mashhad and Ahvaz, the central city of Isfahan provided the children with training facilities so that they could also learn their own national language and culture.

The play was performed previously by a cast of Polish and Iranian actors at the Grotowski Institute in the Polish city of Wroclaw during August 2015.

In 2017, Ladder Team Youth Club was called by the Poland’s embassy in Tehran to stage the project which had been staged earlier in Poland. Now the theatre is set to be staged in Iran as part of a larger project to honour the 75th anniversary of the immigration of Polish people to Iran from the Soviet Union.

The performances have been co-organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, an affiliate of Poland’s Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, PGNiG, a Polish state-controlled oil and gas company, and the Embassy of Poland in Tehran as well as several Iranian art and culture organizations.

Earlier in October, the organizers also held two photo exhibitions under the title “Born in the Independent Poland; Polish People, the Children of Isfahan”, both in Isfahan and Tehran.

Iran’s Leader also called for resistance against the (opponents’) temptations and sabotage saying that bilateral ties and cooperation must be expanded in different fields in a highly motivated way.

Referring to the fact that the majority of the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan are the followers of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) like Iran and Iraq, Ayatollah Khamenei said this great opportunity to hold glorious mourning ceremonies by the Shiites in Azerbaijan must be seized because they give Azerbaijan Republic and its nation more identity.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution also referred to the failure of the Soviet Union in the promotion of Marxism in the Republic of Azerbaijan saying that they failed because of the great faith of the people.  

“This year’s glorious ceremony during the month Muharram was an example of the great faith of the Azerbaijani people,” added Iran’s Leader.

For his part, the President of Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev said he feels at home in Iran and touched upon the significant progress made by the two countries in recent years.

“In our relations with Iran, we are absolutely resolute and will not allow anyone to interfere in the relations between the two countries and disrupt them,” underlined Aliyev.

President of Azerbaijan Republic also highlighted the cooperation between the two countries in cultural, economic, investment, energy and transportation sectors saying that his government is involved in efforts to build (more) mosques in the country.

“We are strengthening our economic and cultural ties with Tehran, and we have a fierce determination to make these relations permanent and sustainable,” added Aliyev.

He then referred to the regional challenges like terrorism, extremism and trans-regional powers’ interference in the  internal affairs of the regional states and said the only way to cope with the challenges is cooperation.

On a Wednesday meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei welcomed President Putin’s proposal to expand cooperation in all fields stressing that it is needed to take advantage of the useful experience of recent years in regional issues and bilateral relations to consolidate and develop ties.

In a Wednesday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is on a visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran to attend the trilateral meeting of Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan, Rouhani said Tehran, Moscow and Baku’s trilateral relations play a very important role in regional affairs and expansion of cooperation in different areas.

“Iran has reached good agreements in various sectors, including energy, peaceful nuclear technologies, transportation and transit. We should step up our efforts to implement these agreements and develop collaborations more,” said Rouhani.

Iran’s president emphasized the importance of developing Iran-Russia cooperation, especially economic and trade ties, saying that Tehran welcomes the active participation of Russian investors and private sector in important infrastructural projects, including the industrial and energy-related ones, the development of railways, and the North-South corridor.

The Iranian president also underlined that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a multilateral agreement and its sustainability is very important for regional and international peace and stability. He also touched upon the role of Russia in consolidating the compliance of all parties with the nuclear deal.

Rouhani also referred to the role of Iran and Russia in the fight against terrorism in Syria, stressing that the cooperation between Tehran and Moscow has had a great impact on the process of fighting terrorism in the region, and these collaborations and consultations play a very significant role in the final stages of the campaign.

Referring to the Astana Process, Iran’s president said the multilateral, regional and international cooperation between Iran and Russia is of great significance in resolving the issues and crises.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that instability in the region is harmful to all countries, and will support the promotion of stability and security in the region. In the context of these collaborations, today it is clear to the world that security and peace in Syria must be restored through diplomacy.”

For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin first thanked the Islamic Republic for hosting the trilateral meeting, saying that Iran is a neighbour and a strategic partner of Russia, and Moscow has many common interests in developing relations and partnerships with Tehran.

Referring to the necessity of developing cooperation between Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan in the transportation, transit and north-south corridor projects, the Russian president said the trilateral meeting of the presidents of Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan could lead to the development of joint relations and collaborations in this sector.

Putin further added that relations and cooperation between Tehran and Moscow have been growing in various sectors, including energy, economy, peaceful nuclear activities and rail and road transport.

“Russian companies are interested in actively participating in Iran’s development projects, and there is no limit to the development of all-embracing relations with Iran. Russia welcomes the process,” added Putin.

The Russian president also noted that based on statistics, trade between the two countries, especially in 2016, has grown significantly, and this trend must continue and accelerate.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Putin described the JCPOA as a very good collective agreement in line with the global peace and stability.

“The non-compliance of some countries with their international obligations is by no means acceptable. We do believe that unilateral disruption of the deal will not be acceptable on any pretext. Moreover, the nuclear agreement has nothing to do with Iran’s defence and missile programs,” stressed Putin.

He also underpinned that the IAEA is the only reference for Iran’s adherence to the deal.

Finally, the Russian president referred to the process of fighting terrorism in Syria and emphasized that the role of Russia, Iran and Turkey should be supported within the framework of Astana Talks.
