* It was emphasized by all the importance of learning about Iran's
culture and history so that our past mistakes should not be repeated.
We agreed that we are "Irandoost" people; our love for Iran
was evident in everything we talked about.
* Mr. Sahab mentioned that his company was working on new books for
children and documenting more evidences about the Persian Gulf.
* We agreed to educate as many people as we could about Persian Gulf
and its importance in Iran's history as cultural rather than political
means.
* It was agreed to work on the Western media. We should convince them
about historical facts rather than worrying about what Arabs refer to
Persian Gulf.
* Several suggestions were made about the PG website which in due time
will be implemented.
* Several pictures were taken at the meeting which will be shared with
you once they are developed. Thanks to Haana for taking the pictures.
There were plenty of Persian sweets, tea, fruits, and food to share
and enjoy each other's company. Pejman entertained us by playing piano
songs of great singers such as Delkash, Hayeedeh, Banaan, and others.
The meeting was the most successful meeting of Persian Gulf members
and their friends since its inception in 1998 (both in terms of participants
and ideas exchanged.)
