A Conference on ''Imam Khomeini; Leadership, Revolution and Change'' in London

In occasion of the 23rd anniversary of the heavenly departure of Imam Khomeini, a conference titled “Imam Khomeini; Leadership, Revolution and Change” was held in London.

Sayyid Hassan Khomeini: All together” was Imam’s motto

Imam never relied on superstitions

''All of Imam’s behaviors were based on human rationality and he never relied on superstition and irrational issues in his personal, political and social decisions.''

Gorbachev’s response to Imam Khomeini:

''Your message has deep concerns about the fate of mankind''

On January 4th 1989 Imam Khomeini’s message was delivered to Gorbachev by his selected delegations who were Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, Mohammad Javad Larijani and Mrs. Marzieh Hadidehchi Dabbaq. Eight weeks later Gorbachev delivered his response to Imam Khomeini by the then Soviet foreign minister, Edward Shevardnadze in Tehran. Gorbachev saw a great value to Imam’s message in his response, but it was clear that he had not understood the spiritual dimensions of Imam’s message. Because he had first tried to describe his activities for promoting political freedom in the Soviet Union and then he had described the achievements of a communist economic from 1917 till now. In the meeting between Eduard Shevardnadze, those days Soviet foreign minister, and Imam Khomeini, Ali Akbar Velayati, those days Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Larijani, deputy of the foreign minister and a member of the delegation, and Alireza Nobari, then the Iranian ambassador to the Soviet Union were also present.
