Yes, there are different fractures, different ethnicities, in Iran, but they all call themselves Iranian. If it's something for Iran, everybody says they will give their life for Iran. The Baluchis say it. The Christians say it. The Muslims say it. The Kurds say it. The Turks say it. Yes, we have different languages and different religions, but we all gather around one pole, which is Iran.
Yes, in opposition there are different fractures too. I may be from the north; Mr. Golestaneh may be from the west, and there are other people, but we all consider ourselves Iranian. We know that our motherland needs help. We want to be the voice of our motherland. They destroyed our country. It was a fertile land. It is now deserted. People are living in destitution and being put away. There are tens of thousands of people just sitting in jail for questioning their government. This is not acceptable.
Living in Canada, I can talk to you so freely and express myself. Why in my country can I not do that? We have 3,000 years of history. There are some religious people who are not religious. They are fascists. They don't have any education. When I go and talk to priests here, they say they are studying law, philosophy, and this and that, but these people are not doing that. That's why we want a change and people like that don't want a change.
