A good name is better than riches [Iran MoFA]

To whom it may concern;


I hate it, holding a position in a government. It brings a lot of responsibility to you and many limitations as well. You won’t be able to talk about many things… you won’t be able to talk your mind… And if you so, it’ll be considered as an official statement!
But this time, I’m gonna ignore it, and say some words that I think everyone MUST be aware of.

You know… I’ve always been sick of 2-3 things, and one of those things is “stabbing somebody in the back”. And worse than that “stabbing your friend in the back” and the worst one is “stabbing your brother in the back”!
Ok, I guess everyone know that eIran and eTurkey are calling each other “brothers since 3 years ago.

At the beginning of this mandate, Iranian ppl used to be really angry of eTurkey because of many reasons. There were also many good offers for us to think of. And yeah, those offers were really good!
But what did we do when your MoFA and his deputy came to us, calling us brothers and asking us to stand by eTurkey? What did we do? Did we let you down and took the better offer? Of course not! You know why? Because we know what is honor. We do value for our brotherhood and managed to convince the congress to vote for eTurkey.
God damn it, we almost got wiped out, only for the sake of YOU.

And what did you do in return?! “ Laya’s article is representing it properly!

You, eTurkey. You betrayed us. And that’s a thing I never could imagine.
If it was for example eUS who was trying to betray us, It’d be natural! They’re the enemy
If it was eBulgaria, It was ok, they’re new friends after all!
If it was eHun, eSerb or eIndo it was still ok, they’re just some old friends!
But you eTurkey! You were supposed to be our BROTHER! And god damn it, we almost got wiped out, only for the sake of YOU.


I’m not trying to fish in troubled waters and duck the issue. I know it’s my fault. I was deliberating everything, but Turkey’s betrayal! And I’m the culpable person here.

But you better remember something; Friends may meet, but mountains never greet 😉 We’ll be here forever next to each other! Do you remember the tree I was talking about? Let’s hope that we won’t have to build shelter using its wood!

19 days ago, this was your question: “ Are you with us?
Now I should ask you. Are you with us?!
If you think you are still with us, then come up with an Idea immediately and prove us that you are with us.
And if you just stand down and do nothing, then we’ll conclude that you’re not with us!


May the day come, when we can trust our brothers (at least!)
