Memories of Dr Reza released
22 April 2013
The Unstated is a book entailing memories of Dr Enayat Reza in interviews by Abdolhussein Azarang, Ali Bahramian, Sadegh Sadjadi and Ali Hamedani. The book covers Dr Reza's memories of his activities in the Mass Party and the Democrat Sect.
IBNA: Speaking with IBNA, Ali Hamedani, one of the interviewers, stated that the memories are a monumental contribution to the history of the Mass Party in Iran prior to the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
As he said, Dr Reza, writer, translator and political activist, has contributed to completion of the book by having his memories recorded by a group of researchers and historiographers.
Hamedani, manager of geography group of the Great Islamic Encyclopedia, went on to add that Reza was a member of the Mass Party when he was still young in Azerbaijan. After the dissolution of the Democrat Sect in the city he traveled to the Soviet Union in 1946 and went into 20 years of exile to escape political imprisonment. With intervention of his brother, Prof. Fazl Allah Reza, he returned to Iran in 1970. By living in the Soviet Union, Dr Reza went through a political metamorphosis and became an opposer of the Mass Party.
Despite the fact that many Mass Party leaders have had their memories published so far, Dr Reza always shied away of having his memories publicized. After continuous talks, he finally agreed to speak his memories in 23 interview sessions in 8 months which are put forward in the book.
The book is in fact the oral history of a sensitive period in Iran's history.
Namak Publications has published the book as the 4th volume of the Memories series. The previous volumes of the series consider memories of Haj Ez al-Mamalek Ardalan, Mohammad Sa'ed Maraghe'ei and General Jalal Pezhman on the dissolution of the imperial army.

Another event that happened in Khuzestan Province and I followed up was the Arab People Committee. One day, we were informed that the Arabs had set up a committee special for themselves.
