Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 28, 1991

Early in the morning, the children went to the airport [Mehrabad] to welcome their mother. They came home at six o'clock. Today until evening, Efat and Fati regularly talked about Libya; They are satisfied with the hospitality of the Libyans. Mrs. Gaddafi accompanied them everywhere and took them to many places. [Moammar] Gaddafi, [the Libyan leader] also met with them twice and received them warmly and regularly brought their news in the media.

On the last day, Mrs. [Fathieh] Gaddafi hinted that, since the first meeting of the Iranians with Major [Abdul Salam] Jalloud, [Libya's number 2 man], this concern arose in them that they would deal with the Libyan leaders in revenge for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr, and that is why Gaddafi himself did not come to Iran.

In Syria, Mrs. [Anisa Makhlouf, Hafez Asad's wife] was informed of their presence and gave a party and saw them off. It seems that such family visits are useful for deepening the relations between the countries. It makes dry government relations emotional.

In the evening, Dr. Velayati [Minister of Foreign Affairs] came. He reported on the Hajj trip and meeting with the officials of Saudi Arabia, as well as the trip to Geneva and London. We talked about negotiations with the French, Germans and Türkiye and other issues. There was talk about the expulsion of one of Türkiye's problematic diplomats; It is related to the dismissal of the imam of the Shiite mosque in Istanbul.

These days, in reports and news, the issues of rebellion in Algeria and separatism of the two republics of Slovenia and Croatia, as well as Yugoslavia and armed conflicts.
