I am thankful of the great Imam for giving us this time to meet him. I have a mission to deliver the response letter of Mikhail Sergey Gorbachev to Imam.

Mrs. Mirkhani: "Although Vida was a leftist, it is not fair that we turn a blind eye on her positive characteristics. I myself respect her. I owe my bachelor in French to Vida Hajibi.

Mrs. Dabbagh was very buoyant. She made use of anyone who was expert. It was very interesting. I had a bachelor degree in economics, for example, and she asked me to recite the Quran and to tell her my interpretation according to my expertise.

There was plenty of coming and goings in the pavilion, therefore, I spread a newspaper under my foot in a corner to perform my prayer. Finishing my prayer, I saw people stopped and looked at me in surprise. They looked questioningly at what I was doing. They marveled more when saw that the men of our delegation did the same in another corner. It seems that they had not seen such a thing yet.Memoirs of Marzieh Hadidchi (Dabbagh) (Part 56)
After breakfast, we collected our clothes and personal stuffs and everything we had, because we had to return to Iran immediately after communicating the letter; we were not allowed to visit the popular sights of Moscow and other cities of the Soviet Union.
