Interview [Shah's false claims; Camp David Accord]

Interviewer: A reporter of the Libyan News Agency

Question: [What is your opinion about the Shah's claim that you want to disintegrate the country?]

Answer: I believe that the Shah has lied. If we did not want to unite all the Islamic countries, we would not maintain that Iran should be disintegrated; these are Shah's misleading campaigns and are not true.

Q: [What is your stance on the countries that support the Shah and overlook the assassination of the Iranian Muslim people?]

A: We condemn them and if they insist on their stance, we[ at an appropriate time ]will revise our relations with them.

Q: [At the time of the declaration of an armed struggle against the Pahlavi government, do you expect the progressive Arab and Islamic countries and the people to assist you?]

A: Of course, if the time comes, the Muslims must help one another.

Q: [What is your vision about a progressive Islamic Iran in the Middle East, its current problems and international situation?]

A: Our people will of course remove the problems and, God willing, we will overcome all the problems. We will treat all the states on the basis of mutual respect.

Q: [How do you evaluate the" Camp David Accord" «2» and Sadat's compromise on the Bayt al-Muqaddas?]

A: I strongly condemn him.

Q: [Do you expect a progressive Islamic revolution in the Islamic world against the reactionary regimes that safeguard the colonial interests?]

A: We hope that it happens and all the Muslims rise against colonial powers and also against the governments that betray their nations.
