Russia's Izostia newspaper has written a sharp article against Iran and has demanded from Iran for Russia's cooperation with Iran despite the American pressure.

I was at home studying and resting and organizing the library and correcting and preparing for the interview I had done with the Tarikh Foundation about the spectrum of the Islamic Republic of Iran. By publishing a statement signed by 12 groups, the left spectrums put pressure on the parliament to silence the plan to amend the press law.

[Mr. Auber Vedrin], the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, changed his words yesterday and said, Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Khatami, [the President], is coming to Paris to give a speech at the UNESCO Center and not at the invitation of the French President; He said yesterday that he will come to Paris at the invitation of the government.

Hypocrites and anti-revolutionaries in most of the European countries have started demonstrations against Mr. Khatami's trip, and maybe this change of France's position is under the pressure of the opposition. Iran has not yet announced the certainty of the trip.

Russia's Izostia newspaper wrote a harsh article against Iran; Due to the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran to Russia, regarding refraining from pressure and aggression on the people of Chechnya, and from Iran due to Russia's cooperation with Iran despite the pressures of the United States; It is a sign of the vulnerability of relations with Russia.
