Genuine dialogue can only succeed when it is based on respect, equality, and recognition of legitimate interests, Ali Bahreini said in Geneva on Thursday while speaking at a ceremony marking the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the National Day of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The 1979 Islamic Revolution reflected the will of a nation seeking dignity, sovereignty, and the right to self-determination, he said.
Bahreini noted that the Islamic Revolution was not merely a change in political orderbut the restoration of national ownership over Iran’s destiny, adding that since then, despite numerous external pressures and challenges, the Islamic Republic has pursued a path based on independence, social justice, public participation, and rejection of subjugation.
