Iranian City Collecting Child Labourers from Streets (4)

The head of the Welfare Organization of the northwestern Iranian province of East Azarbaijan, Mohsen Arshadzadeh, says special vans are being used in the streets of the provincial capital, Tabriz, to collect child labourers and organize them.

According to a Farsi report by the Kayhan daily newspaper, he noted that the vans are intended to replace police and municipality cars for accomplishing the purpose.

Since the beginning of the current Iranian year (started mid-March), 33 children have been collected from the streets of Tabriz, while the figure stood at 56 last year, he went on to say.

Tabriz is planning to host a huge number of tourists as the tourism capital of Islamic countries in 2018.

Back in December 2015, ministers of tourism of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states approved the selection of Medina in Saudi Arabia and Tabriz as the capitals of Islamic tourism in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

During its long history, the city was ransacked by Mongolian raiders and Ottoman invaders and razed by devastating earthquakes, but was rebuilt every time.

Tabriz hosts a number of famed religious sites, including the Jame’ Mosque of Tabriz and Arg of Tabriz, and it boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Bazaar of Tabriz.

Iranian Crafts Put on Display in Hungarian Festival

The Festival of Crafts in Buda Castle Budapest is a celebration of crafts every August, around the 20th of August when Hungary’s birthday takes place.

The 31st edition of the 4-day festival was inaugurated on Friday, August 18, with artefacts from nine countries including Iran showcased in more than 100 booths.

According to a Farsi Report by IRNA, this was the first time that the Iranian artists from the southern province of Shiraz were taking part in the festival. During the festival, the Iranian artists will put on display their crafts including pieces of wood-carving and inlay.

The opening ceremony of the festival was attended by Iran’s ambassador to Hungary, Gholam-Ali Rajabi-Yazdi and his Hungarian counterpart in Tehran, Janos Kovacs.

Meanwhile, an Iranian artist played some pieces of Iranian traditional music which were warmly received by the audience.

Rajabi-Yazdi also held talks with the festival director, Gabriella Igyártó, on the sidelines of the opening ceremony.

During the talks, the Iranian official said Iran attaches great importance to showcasing its cultural and historical heritage for the Hungarians.

The participation of Iranian artists in the festival is a big step in making Hungarians more familiar with the Iranian culture.

For her part, the festival manager warmly welcomed the presence of Iranians in the festival and expressed hope that the Iranian artists help the Hungarians get more familiar with the rich culture of Iran by attending the festival in the coming years.

Iran Dispatches 15,000 Sunni Pilgrims to Hajj: Official

“This year, nearly 15,000 of Iranian pilgrims are Sunnis, which is a record compared with previous years,” Qazi Askar added.

“It shows that the Islamic Republic views Hajj as a non-sectarian issue and attaches great significance to the unity of the Islamic society (Ummah),” Qazi Askar added, according to a Farsi report by the Khabar Online news agency.

He also expressed hope that the flow of Iranian pilgrims flying to Saudi Arabia and their return to Iran would go on without any problem.

He went on saying that this year’s pilgrimage has its own sensitivity and added the sensitivity is mainly due to Iran’s decision to boycott Hajj until its conditions for the security and dignity of Iranian pilgrims are met.

Following two tragic events in Masjid al-Haram and Mina about two years ago which left a large number of Iranian pilgrims dead, Tehran boycotted last year’s Hajj pilgrimage, saying its decision will not change until its demands are met.

“As Iran’s Leader stressed in his statements, for the time being, the dignity, security and health of our pilgrims is of greatest significance for us,” he noted.

“As repeatedly announced earlier, we did not have any role in the last year’s absence of Iranian pilgrims from Hajj. We didn’t seek to boycott Hajj and if the Saudi side had met our conditions, we could perform our Hajj pilgrimage last year.”

Indonesia Independence Anniversary Marked in Tehran's Milad Tower6

Indonesia had remained a Dutch colony for over 300 years until a group of revolutionaries started the diplomatic and armed resistance of the Indonesian National Revolution, fighting against the forces of the Netherlands and pro-Dutch civilians.

17 August 1945 was the day when the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read, and the anti-colonialist struggles began. The Netherlands finally officially acknowledged Indonesia’s independence in 1949.

In a Sunday ceremony in Tehran, ambassadors of several countries gathered to celebrate the Indonesian Independence Day in Milad Tower.

On the sidelines of the ceremony, an exhibition of artworks by renowned Indonesian painter Jeihan Sukmantoro was also opened. The ‘Culture of Peace’ exhibition will be open to visitors until August 25.

Here are IRNA‘s photos of the ceremony:

‘Iran Not after Materialistic Interests in Iraq, Syria’

Speaking in a Sunday ceremony, General Soleimani highlighted the importance of the way Iran contributed to efforts aimed at tackling the crises in Iraq and Syria.

“When we went to Iraq to defend Iraqi people, we never drew a line between Iran’s interests and those of Iraq. We considered Iraqi people’s interests as our own. We worked to secure their victory, freedom and interdependence. Our interests lie in these things,” said General Soleimani.

“We were not after [taking control of] oil wells or seizing cities like Mosul or Kirkuk, as some other countries do. We did not and do not have monetary demands, either,” he added.

He noted that Iran has never sought to “secure a share” and ensure its own interests in Iraq and Syria.

According to a Farsi report by Basij Press, General Soleimani further noted that Iran enjoys real and impregnable power in the region today.

“I don’t think Iran has ever been as powerful in its history as it is now,” he said, adding this power has brought Shiites and Sunnis closer together.

The top general then highlighted the key role of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s wisdom in getting to know the circumstances and understanding the situation.

“ISIS had created a country which was larger than Iraq and Syria combined. The group called it the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” he said.

He then said Iran is located at the centre of the Muslim world, so that it can play a stabilizing role in the region, including in Syria.

He then touched upon the terrorist groups created and organized by Saudi Arabia, and added, “They set up 120 military structures against Iran in a bid to launch a religious war.”

“But no army can stand up to a [sectarian] military conflict,” he noted.

He said it was the “reality of religion,” and not military power, which managed to tackle the religious war.

Israel Benefiting from Ongoing Crises in Mideast: Iran

“The continuation of conflicts and crises in the region is in the interest of the Zionist regime [of Israel],” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari said on Monday.

“This regime has benefited from conflicts in the regional countries and the undermining of its rivals,” said Jaberi Ansari in a meeting with Lebanese lawmaker Walid Jumblatt in Beirut.

Moreover, he added, given that the current crises have overshadowed the issue of Palestine, it (Israel) would like to see these crises go on.

“That is why Iran’s top priority is to make efforts to end crises and draw attention to the issue of Palestine,” he added.

Israel Benefitting from Ongoing Crises in Mideast: IranFor his part, Jumblatt expressed concern over the fact that the cause of Palestine has slipped into oblivion amid the ongoing crises.

He added the Lebanese government, people, army and resistance movement, by working in tandem, have managed to stave off the danger of terrorism.

During the talks, the two sides also discussed the developments in the region and Lebanon, highlighting the need to forge closer cooperation between Iran and Lebanon as well as with the Arab world.

In the talks, Jaberi Ansari briefed Bassil on Tehran’s efforts to further boost interaction with its partners in the Astana talks aimed at resolving the Syria crisis. He said Lebanon and other regional countries’ help is needed to settle the Syria conflict.

He expressed hope that through cooperation between Iranian and Lebanese foreign ministries, a planned trip to Tehran by Lebanese President Michel Aoun will be arranged in such a way that his meetings would usher in a new era of closer cooperation between the two sides in all fronts, especially political and economic arenas.

The Lebanese foreign minister, in turn, thanked Tehran for supporting Beirut in its fight against terror.

“The establishment of a ceasefire and creation of de-escalation zones in Syria within the framework of the Astana talks will help Lebanon tackle terrorism and relieves the country from the dire consequences of the Syria crisis,” he said.

The two sides also highlighted the need to deepen and enhance mutual relations and continue consultations on bilateral and regional issues.

The Lebanese parliament speaker, in turn, conveyed his warmest greetings to Larijani, and highlighted Iran-Lebanon age-old relations as well as Imam Musa Sadr’s key role in consolidating bonds between the two nations.

Berri also underscored the need to enhance mutual cooperation. He then touched upon plots to disintegrate the regional countries and put emphasis on the importance of regional cooperation to ward off that threat.
