Hawzah News Agency - (Moscow - Russia) - The former member of the Russian Parliament (Duma) and Chairman of the Center for Strategic Studies of Russia and the Islamic World, Shamil Sultanov, in a video conference in Moscow said the Islamic Republic of Iran by resisting against its enemies and commemorating the Quds Day and defending the Palestinian people is a Model for other Muslim nations.

According to Public Relations Department of Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) the video conference was organized by Iranian Cultural Mission to Russian Federation and contribution by Iranian cultural missions to Kyrgyzstan and Republic of Azerbaijan and participation of Iranian Ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali.

The Russian journalist and political activist, Maxim Shevchenko, Chairman of the Center for Strategic Studies of Russia and the Islamic World, Shamil Sultanov, Kyrgyz political activist and former parliamentarian, Torson Bai Bagherughlo and finally political and religious activist from Republic of Azerbaijan, Ibrahim Ughlo took part in the conference.

Iranian Ambassador in his opening remarks said resistance against the Zionist regime has prevented implementation of schemes by the occupationist regime in the region adding that the Palestinian question is important for various reason. First of all, from humanitarian point of view, because a nation living in his homeland for the course of history has been subject to occupation, suppression, killing and torture.

He continued by saying that the second dimension of the Palestinian question is civilization of mankind, especially in case of Abrahamic religions. In a place where divine religion have been appointed as messenger by almighty God and those messengers have built numerous places of worship there, that have been subject to atrocities. He said the third point is that while during the past 70 years so many people have talked about peace with Israel but what the late Imam Khomeini has said has been proved that reaching peace and justice with the Zionist regime is impossible.

Talking about two solutions for Palestine, he said one is simple and the other one is difficult. The difficult path is that the resistance movement should be strengthened and that the only way to deal with the Zionist regime is resistance. I believe that the Zionist regime is still thinking of the project from Nile to the Euphrates. What has postponed this scheme of the Zionist regime is resistance movement that has kept the Zionists busy in the occupied territories.

But the second solution put forward by Islamic Republic of Iran is that all Muslims, Christians, Jews and even irreligious people residing in the occupied territories take part in a democratic process and decide about their future government. This is a democratic solution for the Palestine an no other solution is more democratic than this could not be envisaged to settle this problem.
