A Window to the Fatherland – Thursday 8 August 2019
We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with talking to our special guest of every Thursday, Dr. Mohsen Sazegara, for his views about news of Iran and the Middle East.
I wonder if you have seen the video clip of a lorry that is supposedly carrying vegetables but when it overturns its delivery scatters over the road and becomes chicken skin, while the passers by look at it in disbelief.
Mohsen Sazegara:
Once every now and again the issue of the problems with the country’s food and drugs supplies become the headlines but then are forgotten after a while.
I read in the papers last week that some one had “imported” some out of date and corrupted medicines into the country inside several suitcases and 52 peoplehave become blind after taking them.
In any other country of the world tragedies like this would result in resignation and sacking of all those officials involved in their health and safety institutes.
In US a major pharmaceutical company whose drug had caused the death of a patient has been taken to the court by the House’s relevant committee, but in Iran the Majles deputies are a bunch of useless people that no one takes them seriously.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
Khamenei has done to our parliament the same thing that the despot Mohammad Ali Shah of Qajar did a century ago by turning it into a discredited institute so he could rule over the governments.
Now the Caspian Sea legal status has denied Iran’s historic rights and given them away to Putin’s Russia and the Majles deputies have remained silent while the traitors to Iran’s interests are selling out our country.
Mohsen Sazegara:
Last year this time we did discuss this issue and gave warning that if the Caspian Sea’s borders are re-written and we lose our rights to the Russians and other countries involved in this new pact, then even when the present regime in Iran is gone we cannot complain in any international courts of justice to get our territories back.
