The international community must recognize the rights of Iranian people and resistance to establish freedom and democracy in their homeland, Iran. Ashraf 3 is a symbol for freedom and future. I was Deputy Minister of Interior when we started the allocation of MEK people here in Albania with the support of the Albanian government and, of course, under the leadership of our Prime Minister Edi Rama. And it was really fantastic that all were safe and all together here in our beautiful country, Albania.

Last month, Albania made a strong position against the Iranian regime and terrorist attack in the Middle East. And our prime minister officially announced that these threats in the Gulf of Oman are a serious threat to all international peace and energy security. Albania stands firm with U.S., Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE, against what seems to be typical of provocations by Iran to escalate tensions.

We support MEK and all the efforts they have done to achieve and to reach security and peace in their country. The dossier of human rights abuses and massacres of political prisoners in Iran must be referred to the U.N. Security Council.

I support Madame Rajavi for her incredible work that she has done, and to ensure a secure and democratic country. I’m proud to support the Iranian women who are calling for change and democracy. I admire their courage and determinations. We stand with the people of MEK in Albania for (their) freedom.
