In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
as a steady stronghold vis-a-vis the enemy
I extend my greetings to you dear young men who have come from the mighty borders of Iran and who have gathered here at this small place which could not house your friends. My greetings to the Iranian nation. My greetings to the brave people of Azarbayjan and to the heroic people of Tabriz and my greetings to all believers and pious men and women.
We need your support at this juncture of time when we are confronted with our enemies and when Islam is faced with infidelity. Might and power will be created if we relied on God and if we believed in unity. Azarbayjan has always stood firm against our enemies and has never been vulnerable; it shall never be. Azarbayjan has been a staunch protector of Islam. Azarbayjan is Iran; they are not two separate entities. We owe to Islam a great deal. We are responsible towards Islam. This will be done by our staying united. Expel those who want to bring forth division among you. Stop the growth of the plots which are being planned against you. Azarbayjanis should not let division take place among them. Islam has called take place among them. Islam has called all the Muslims as brethren. The believers are brothers in Islam. «2» You brothers protect one another.
Vigilance vis-a-vis the division creators
Let the enemies of Islam be incompetent in bringing about division among you. Let those who are inspired by the agents from outside the country not succeed in influencing you in destroying your unity. Today any criticism raised against our Islamic movement. Or against our Islamic revolution is to the benefit of the foreigners and against Islam. The Islamic Republic is a state in which the Islamic commands and standards should be carried out and any opposition to the Islamic republic equals enmity towards Islam. Those who oppose against the Islamic republic are the ones who dislike Islam to be established in Iran. You brothers should always be alert. Be aware that the enemies of Islam do not stand idle and are busy planning conspiracies. Do not let them deceive the Azarbayjani youth. Do not let these young men and women be deceived.
My dear Azarbayjanis: you have always been protecting Islam and you have been a stronghold for Iran. Keep this up. We owe a lot to Islam. Today, Islam is caught in a unique situation and your country is in a sensitive position vis-a-vis the superpowers and the internal and external plots. Those who bring about division are the foreigners' puppets. Those who try to divide us are the foreign agents. Our nation stays alert and vigilant.
Perseverance and firmness vis-a-vis conspiracies
They have opposed your voting for the Islamic Republic. When you decided to select your council of experts, they showed their disagreement. They did not agree with you in your voting for the constitution, either. Neither would they be content with your selection of the president. Tomorrow, when you decide to vote for the representative of the consultative assembly they would be satisfied. What they hurt by Islam and would never make friends with Islam. You are the protectors of Islam and should stand firm against them.
We shall stand firm against the enemies' conspiracies and will not permit the enemies through their agents to influence our nation. We shall, God willing, establish order in our country and shall spread the Islamic commands and shall spread the Islamic commands and everywhere. May God keep our nation against our foes. May God keep the brave Azarbayjanis against the foreigners. May God provide you with prosperity. May God's peace be upon you.
