Polish Cemetery

“Polish engineers and experts visited the cemetery about eight months ago to estimate the cost and credits required for repairing the tombs of more than 600 polish soldiers and civilians,” said Simon Terhouspian, the Armenian Bishop of Bandar Anzali, according to a report by IRNA, as translated by IFP.

“Then the Polish charge d`affaires visited the cemetery along with an Iranian foreign ministry official and some Polish engineers to start the restoration,” he added, mentioning that the program includes flooring, repairing the tombs and painting the walls.

During the Second World War, in 1942, a number of Polish refugees arrived in Bandar Anzali. They had a difficult journey through the former Soviet Union because of hunger, illness and cold temperature; therefore, 639 Polish people died and were buried in a place around the town’s main cemetery.

The 70th anniversary of Polish refugee`s entry was celebrated in Bandar Anzali`s Polish cemetery on October 9, 2012, in the presence of 80 Polish people including Poland`s Ambassador to Iran, Minister of War Veterans’ Affairs, Chairman of the Commission for Communication with Polish Expatriates and a Senator, some veterans, the World War II refugee survivors and victims’ families.

Bandar Anzali is located 40 kilometres northwest of Rasht, the capital city of Guilan province in northern Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni Silveri exchanged views on Tehran-Rome bilateral relations in the conversation.

They also talked about the regional developments and some issues of mutual interest.

Italy, one of Iran’s oldest European trade partners, has intensified efforts in recent months to boost economic interaction with Iran.

In September, at a meeting with Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi in New York, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Italy can once again become Iran’s main trade partner in Europe following the removal of anti-Tehran sanctions under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear agreement between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Tehran-Clean Air

Air pollution in the Iranian capital, Tehran, had reached an alarming level, prompting authorities to shut down all schools for a couple of days.

However, the rain started falling on Sunday and the Air Quality Index (AQI) gradually improved. The AQI showed a “red status” warning last week, indicating that the air is unhealthy.

According to the index, the intensity of the tiny particles known as PM 2.5 was over 150 micrograms per cubic meter, Press TV reported.

However, it was gradually decreased to less than 100 (healthy conditions) thanks to the rainfall.

According to IRNA’s report, as translated by IFP, the beginning of snowfall on Monday and Tuesday helped the index get down to 50, indicating that the air has become ‘clean’.

Valiollah Seif

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with his Afghan counterpart, Khalil Sediq, Seif said a great volume of bilateral transactions between Iran and Afghanistan are made through cash settlement methods and currency exchanges.

He further hailed his “good” talks with Sediq and said the two sides are seeking to establish a “proper” correspondent banking relationship between the two countries.

While the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) came into force in January, some Iranian officials complain about the other parties’ failure to fully implement the accord.

Back in March, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said Americans have yet to fulfill what they were supposed to do as per the nuclear deal.

Iran still has problems in its banking transactions or in restoring its frozen assets, because Western countries and those involved in such processes are afraid of Americans, the Leader said at the time, criticizing the US for its moves to prevent Iran from taking advantage of the sanctions removal.

According to a report covered by Fars, no damage or injuries among the embassy’s staff have been reported. The SANA news agency reported that the shells hit a gym on the territory of the Al Feih stadium. The building was damaged.

Earlier reports said several people were injured in western Damascus on Monday. On Sunday, two people were killed and another 13 wounded in a mortar shelling of the Harasta suburb.

The news agency said the shelling is the work of the Jaysh al-Islam and Faylaq al-Rahman extremist groups that support “the Saudi regime.” Syrian forces are attacking the footholds of these groups near Eastern Ghouta near the capital.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi expressed condolences to the Afghan government and nation over the deadly attack.

Voicing concern about the growing trend in the spread of terrorism in the region, he reiterated the call for concerted action and global consensus to tackle the threat.

The spokesman also attributed intensified activities by radical extremists to the overt and covert supports that certain countries provide for the Takfiri terrorist groups for “transient political purposes.”

Daesh has claimed responsibility for the Monday suicide attack on Kabul’s Baqir-ul-Olum mosque.

Fraidoon Obaidi, an Afghan police official, said at least 27 people were killed and 35 wounded, while the United Nations said at least 32 had been killed and more than 50 wounded, including many children. It described the attack as “an atrocity”.

Officials say the attacker entered the mosque shortly after midday as worshippers gathered for Arbaeen, a religious mourning ritual marking 40 days after the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shiite imam, Imam Hussein (AS).

Iran-Slovenia

Heading a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, Pahor arrived in Tehran on Monday and was welcomed by Iran’s Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian upon his arrival at the Imam Khomeini International Airport.

Slovenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Karl Erjavec has said his country plans to reopen its embassy in Tehran in November.

In a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Tehran earlier this month, state secretary at Slovenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Darja Bavdaž Kuret, had announced the Slovenian president’s visit to Tehran.

During Pahor’s stay in Tehran, Slovenia’s embassy would be reopened, she added.

Slovenia’s Foreign Ministry announced in March 2013 that the country decided to shrink its diplomatic network as part of general austerity and close its embassy in Tehran in response to the difficult financial and economic situation in Slovenia.

The value of trade exchanges between Iran and Slovenia has decreased in recent years and fallen from 96 million euros in 2011 to 46 million euros in 2012 and 25.5 million euros in 2013.

However, Tehran and Ljubljana have been seeking to improve trade and economic cooperation along with political relations after the implementation of a nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in July 2015.

Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China – plus Germany started implementing the JCPOA in January 2016.

Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
