In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Haksi Shi (?), Chairperson of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Albania,
I received your Excellency's message of condolence on the martyrdom of the beloved president and prime minister of our country. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. It is hoped that these tragic incidents will awaken Islamic nations to know their enemy better at the top of whom stands the criminal America and not fall for their poisonous propaganda. It is hoped that they provide a cogent answer to the baseless accusations, brazenly accusing us of buying weapons from and having ties with the occupying and bloodthirsty Israel, and help defame these powers before the free nations of the world, especially our `Arabic-speaking brothers.
May God's peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
