In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
My warmest greetings to the people of Azarbayjan, and to the men and women of the border regions of Uroumiyyah. Dear brothers and sisters; you are aware that our country at present, in this post-revolutionary period, needs assistance. It was the nation's efforts that made this revolution succeed and it also must continue its efforts from now onwards. The people of Iran owe a lot to you who reside on the borders, and we are indebted to you for your efforts. I hope that you will preserve your independence to the very end through your efforts and those of all the other brothers and sisters. I also hope that you will be among the army of the Master of the Age (s), and that you will safeguard your country by your sincere endeavors. Today, whatever you do is to your own and your nation's benefit. It is not that you are working for the benefit of the aliens. It is hoped that you will, God willing, maintain Iran's glory and honor while enjoying well-being and prosperity. May God make you fortunate and protect your country from all harm. I hope that with God's grace, your unity of expression and the endeavors of all the strata of the nation, these corrupt elements that still remain in this country and are stalling its progress, will also be destroyed, God willing. May your efforts be rewarded- and are being rewarded- by the Blessed and Exalted Lord.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
