Iranian academic year began on Saturday during an opening bell ceremony held in Tehran attended by President Rouhani.

Concurrent with the start of the new school year in Iran, 146 educational projects came into operation.

Vote on Iraqi Kurdistan Independence to Strengthen ISIS: Iran

Kurdistan-Iraq

Iranian lawmaker Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi says Tehran would like to see Iraq’s national interests and territorial integrity preserved, saying problems facing Iraq’s Kurdistan region cannot be settled militarily.

“Baghdad-Erbil talks are the only way to settle differences over the region,” said Rahimi Jahanabadi, who sits on the parliament’s Judicial and Legal Commission.

He said any war between the Iraqi central government and the Kurdistan region will further strengthen the ISIS terrorist group, saying Iran’s proposal that problems facing Kurdistan should be resolved through diplomacy and political dialogue is a rational suggestion.

He noted the maintenance of Iraq’s territorial integrity will be in the interest of Iraqi people as well as all other countries in the Middle East.

The MP said Iraqi Kurds do not seem to be willing to withdraw from a planned referendum on Kurdistan’s independence, saying political negotiations could cushion the repercussions of the planned vote.

“If things don’t go well and a conflict breaks out, that will benefit the Israeli regime the most, will strengthen ISIS elements and help them expand their sphere of influence,” the legislator underscored.

He also said the plebiscite on the independence of Kurdistan will pose no danger to Iran.

“Given its geopolitical standing in the Middle East as well as the current investment opportunities in various fields and the young and educated population, Iran has the capacity to attract over $3,500bn in foreign investment within the next two decades,” he said.

In an address to the financial heads of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation in Turkey, Seif also referred to the Islamic banking capacities and said with their great performance in the face of the recent world recession, the Islamic banks have managed to attract the attentions of many across the world to their financial mechanism.

“The mechanism is free from usury and this in turn makes it capable of working as a guarantee against grave risks and a facilitator for financial exchanges,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by the Entekhab news website.

Seif said the focus of the Islamic banks on the real sections of economy instead of bonds has made them less vulnerable against economic shocks across the world compared with other banks.

He also referred to the current financial instability in the developed countries and said today strengthening of multilateral as well as regional financial ties can play a key role in restoring stability to the global economy.

“Amid the current instable conditions, the OIC as the second largest international organization after the United Nations can contribute to efforts to tackle the current economic problems in the world,” he said.

He also highlighted the efforts made after the signing of the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers to expand ties between Iranian and European banks and expressed hope the efforts would lead to more foreign investments in Iran.

US Claim that Iran Helping Terrorists Ridiculous: Larijani

By

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani rejected Washington’s allegation that Iran is helping terrorists and said, “This is the most ridiculous remark today. Are you blind, and don’t you see it is only Iran that is standing up to ISIS in Iraq and Syria?”

“How is it possible that Iran help ISIS and terrorists, and at the same time stand up against them? Is such a move sensible?”

“They (the Americans) themselves know that they are talking nonsense in a bid to sway public opinion around the world, but they won’t succeed because Iran has chosen its path prudently and will tread that path resolutely,” the top parliamentarian added.

He then touched upon plots by the global hegemony against Iran, saying hegemonic powers and their cronies have never wanted to see tranquility and calm in the country.

“The US president [Donald Trump] says blatantly that Iran is problematic. We deem it necessary to tell him that it has been you (the US) who have never stopped making trouble over the past 40 years,” Larijani said.

He said documented evidence exists that the White House was supporting former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein during the eight year Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.

He said there is evidence that the US provided Baghdad with intelligence and direct or indirect military assistance throughout the war.

Larijani also touched upon the downing of an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf by a US warship back in 1988.

He said the US president should be ashamed of himself as his country has taken so many actions against Iran, and now he has opted to try another anti-Iran move.

The parliament speaker said Trump’s words are nonsense, wrong and hollow.

They underscored in the statement that the JCPOA is a real model which, by boosting international cooperation, helps countries achieve sustainable development.

In another part of the statement, foreign ministers of Group 77 and China expressed their opposition to unilateral economic sanctions against Iran, calling for the lifting of the bans.

Speaking in a meeting with members of the Assembly of Experts on Thursday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, “Solving problems – including economic and cultural problems – is only possible with the help of the people and with reliance on domestic capabilities and capacities, not with reliance on foreigners.”

“This issue should be repeated, time and time again, until it turns into a common and well-established discourse, because the country has many motivated and capable youths who offer new thoughts and ideas that are creative in various productive, scientific and educational sectors. The country should benefit from these youthful minds,” the Leader added.

Stressing that foreigners cannot solve the problems of the country, Ayatollah Khamenei stated, “I am not saying that we should break off our relations with the world. Since the beginning of the Revolution and until today, I have been stressing that we should have extensive relations with the world, but I want to say that we should not exchange our powerful legs for the foreigners’ cane.”

The Leader further referred to the nuclear negotiations as an example in this regard, saying, “The problem that we had and continue to have with the nuclear negotiations […] is that although there was nothing wrong with negotiating, those negotiations should have been conducted with care and precision, so much so that every move by Iran will not be considered as a violation of the JCPOA; while, this is not the case for every wrong move that the other side makes.”

“We should work with the world; we accept its requirements; but, we should not glue our eyes on foreigners either,” Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say.

According to the Public Relations Department of Niavaran Artistic Creation Foundation, every night, two musicians perform improvised pieces for the audience.

Holding free music workshops and playing documentaries related to art of improvisation are among the other programs of this international event, Honar Online said in a Farsi report.

Musicians from Italy, Germany, Austria, Norway, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and two Iranian musicians are attending the festival.

Austrian musician David Six described the festival as an exceptional one, saying that such a festival has not been held in Europe until now.

Int’l Piano Festival in Tehran Hosting Famous Musicians“The festival was very interesting for me not as a musician, but as an audience, because I learned a lot. It’s absolutely unexpected, strange, and exciting for me to play piano in this festival. In addition, the effect of the festival with the participation of various artists will certainly be remarkable,” Six added.

Regarding his music workshop called Improvisation, Discourse and Polyphony, this Austrian musician said, “When I started the workshop, I did not know what direction to take. There were various people at the workshop who were enthusiastically following the topics, and this was very interesting for me.”

David Six also referred to the improvisation of Maziyar Younesi from Iran on the first night of the festival describing it as a superb and splendid one.

“Younesi had interesting ideas and managed to develop those ideas very well,” he underlined.

The Italian artist Stefano Battaglia said people in Iran are passionate about listening to improvised music.

Int’l Piano Festival in Tehran Hosting Famous Musicians“Iranian audiences are keen to get acquainted with the arts and culture of other countries. I think in this country, due to existence of specific audiences different concerts such as the piano improvisation festival are held and this is a very good and noticeable event,” he mentioned.

Battaglia, who previously travelled to Iran to have a performance said improvisation means living at the moment.

“In improvisation, the music itself is not the goal. From my point of view, in improvisation the musician is a medium for music. So I’m just trying to be alert and aware of the music stream to be able to de-identify the music and present it in the simplest possible way as a universal language without frontiers and nationalities.”

As for his musical workshop at Niavaran Cultural Centre, Battaglia said, “It was very interesting and motivating for me to share my life experiences with others. More grippingly was the interest of the participants at the workshop with whom I could share my experiences very well.”

Maziar Younesi, the Iranian musician participating in this international festival, described the experience of attending such a festival very exciting saying that he had lovely moments with the best piano players from different European countries.

Younesi, who has an experience of leading the Iranian-Austrian orchestra, stressed that holding such festivals can definitely create great atmosphere and provide music fans with their favorite music.

About improvisational art he said, “To me, the musician should be able to manage the time given to him for improvisation by relying on his knowledge and technique to play the instrument or use his vocal.
