Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply. There is no complaint for covering the events but the complaint is for how to report an event. It was clear that the demonstration was a regime governed demonstration to make pressure on Azerbaijan’s government and also independent Azeri journalists because they covered the latest Azeri protests in the northwest of Iran in may 2006.

“In the past six months, Israel and the United States have also been working together in support of a Kurdish resistance group known as the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan. The group has been conducting clandestine cross-border forays into Iran, I was told by a government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon civilian leadership, as “part of an effort to explore alternative means of applying pressure on Iran.” (The Pentagon has established covert relationships with Kurdish, Azeri, and Baluchi tribesmen, and has encouraged their efforts to undermine the regime’s authority in northern and southeastern Iran.) The government consultant said that Israel is giving the Kurdish group “equipment and training.” The group has also been given “a list of targets inside Iran of interest to the U.S.” (An Israeli government spokesman denied that Israel was involved.)”

“Half of Iranians do not speak Persian, and half of those speak Azeri. Azerbaijan’s oil wealth is a giant magnet; it must attract either the largest national minority in Iran, or the military attentions of Iran itself. If a Kurdish state asserts itself out of the ruins of Iraq - a long-delayed justice for that ancient and resilient people - Iran’s Kurds will be tempted to throw off the Persian yoke.”
