In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Todor Zhivkov, President of the Republic of Bulgaria,
The receipt of your congratulatory message on the arrival of the New Year is acknowledged. It is hoped that in the New Year, the rulers in the world, especially the Christian countries, would take the lofty and heavenly teachings of the Holy Messiah (`a) as the guide for their acts and take serious action in eliminating discriminations and deprivations suffered by oppressed and deprived nations.
