Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 12, 1992

I went to my office at half past eight in the morning. I did the backlog until half past ten. [Mr. Abdullah Nouri], the Minister of Interior came. He had suggestions about the standards.

The Minister of Interior of Qatar came to meet. The negotiations were formal. The Australian Foreign Minister came. We talked about developing relationships. [Mr. Mohammad Hassan Qadiri Abianeh], our ambassador in Australia came and commented that it is better for Mehdi to return to Australia to continue his studies. Fazeh came in the afternoon and asked me to go back to Khorasan for the opening of the FAO conference.

Asr Ahmad Agha came. The results of my trip were discussed. He expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Karroubi's approval before the election, which, according to him, left no place for their herd. I said that the disadvantage is that the people will see that your endorsement and that of Mr. [Syed Abd al-Karim Mousavi] Ardabili and Mr. [Sheikh Yusuf] Sanei will not have much effect on the vote; He asked me to comfort them.

The Supreme National Security Council had a meeting. Examining the results of my trip and the issue of Afghanistan and Shiite politics against different factions were discussed. I was the guest of the leader. The report of the trip and the examination of its results, the issues of Afghanistan and the elections were discussed. The leadership is satisfied with the election results; The important thing is that the Ministry of Interior has been defeated by Jinnah and the claim of fraud has no place.
