After praying and listening to the news, we left for Tehran with Yasir and the guards at half past seven. It is also snowing. There was heavy snow on the mountain roads, but we came easily; We arrived half an hour late. Mr. [Mohammed Mohammadi] Rishahri, [representative of the religious jurist and supervisor of Iranian pilgrims]

After praying and listening to the news, we left for Tehran with Yasir and the guards at half past seven. It is also snowing. There was heavy snow on the mountain roads, but we came easily; We arrived half an hour late.

Mr. [Mohammed Mohammadi] Rishahri, [representative of the religious jurist and supervisor of Iranian pilgrims] and Mr. Rezaei, the person in charge of the Hajj and Pilgrimage organization, came. They talked about government subsidies to pilgrims. Half of the 115,000 people were to be taken freely; Priority will be given to those who have written their names and their turn is in the following years. We will take half of it based on the turn with the same price as the previous years and some savings will be made in food, housing and transportation; Like what happened to Umrah pilgrims. Mr. Rayshahri asked for help for the design of Shah Abd al-Azim's shrine and also for Ray's municipality expenses.

Dr. Hashemi Golpaygani came for the order of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution. Mr. [Ali] Larijani, [Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance], Mohsen [Hashmi, Head of the President's Special Inspection Office], [Ferydoun] Mahdinjad, [CEO of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA)] and Akhavi Mohammad, [Chairman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization] came. They were worried about the destructive actions of competitors. I said that we will not reciprocate and prevent their propaganda, but we can work on the axis of giving hope to the people by explaining the work and plans of the government and preventing the price increase of important goods.

In the evening, the Armenian bishops came together with the bishops of Iran and Lebanon. I got explanations about the state of education, life, statistics and relationships between their various departments and sects; They were very humble and submitted to the Islamic revolution. Considering the situation of Azerbaijanis, we did not publish video or photos of the meeting. Its center is in Lebanon and he is Lebanese himself. I stayed in my office at night.
