Message [Reply to a message of congratulations on the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Theodor Zhivkov, President of the People's Republic of Bulgaria,

The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the 9 th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is acknowledged with gratitude. It is hoped that this purely Islamic revolution would be a model for other deprived and oppressed nations of the world and that by relying on God, the Exalted, they could save themselves from the mischief of the world-devouring arrogant powers.
