Kazem Darabi, narrator of "Coffee House Painting": Art Department officials have promised the translation of this work will be released shortly.
Hojatoleslam Saeed Fakhrzadeh, head of the Oral History Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Library: The Westerns brought a lot of allegations against the Islamic Revolution.

I wanted to celebrate the new year with my family. Together with two relief workers I boarded buses designated for transporting the wounded to Choubideh and received our mission orders.
