Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 30, 1992

On the way, I went to Mohammad's brother's house to visit his parents who have come from Nog. They are in good condition, but they are very worn out. They did not accept our insistence on staying in Tehran; They prefer to stay in the village and have fun with housework and taking care of their sheep, and they like to treat the sick in the village [with herbal medicines]. I went to my office. In the reports, the news of a missile hitting the plane carrying [Sibghatullah] Majdadi, the interim president of Afghanistan, at the Kabul airport while sitting has attracted attention. They speculate that Hekmatyar, [the leader of Hizb-e-Islami afghanistan], is from the [Gulbadin] group. The development of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the good reaction of the Westerners are also at the top of the news.

Mr. [Jalil] Besharti, [head of the presidential deprived areas office] came and brought the list of aid for deprived areas to be signed. Dr. [Syed Mohammad Reza] Hashemi [Golpaigani] came for the order of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. The members of the supreme council of the medical system organization came. Dr. [Iraj] Fazel and Dr. [Ali Akbar] Velayati spoke. I also spoke. Doctors are satisfied and hopeful about the situation.

Mr. [Abdullah] Nouri, the Minister of Interior, came and consulted for the appointment of some new governors. Dr. [Hasan] Habibi came for current affairs and members of the government and the [Persian language and literature] academy

In the evening, the Supreme Council of National Security had a meeting. The plan to fight the cultural invasion was in order. It was emphasized about dealing with the elements of chaos and evil that happened in Shiraz and Arak and today in Mashhad. I negotiated with the governor of Khorasan on the phone.
