In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Esfand 17,1367 AHS
His Eminence Mr. Todor Zhivkov, President of the Republic of Bulgari,
The receipt of Your Excellency's congratulatory message on the occasion of the 10 th anniversary of Islamic Revolution in Iran is acknowledged with gratitude. During these ten years, the noble Iranian nation proved to the world that by reliance on God, the Exalted, as well as fortitude and steadfastness, one can withstand all plots brewed by imperialists and removing all problems. It is hoped that this glorious Islamic Revolution would serve as a model for other colonized nations suffering under the yoke of world oppressive powers so that they could emerge triumphant over their enemies by taking inspiration from struggle of the Iranian nation.
