Iranians who had assembled in the rally site several hours earlier, welcomed Mrs. Rajavi with their waving tri-colored Iranian flags and chants of "Maryam, our Shining Sun, We will take her to Tehran!" Five little Iranian girls presented the Iranian Resis tance's President-elect with flower bouquets, followed by the representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in the Nordic countries, the President-elect's head of office in Norway, and the representatives of the associations of Iranian wome n, professionals and athletes residing in Norway, each welcoming the President with their own bundles of flowers.
The representatives of Iranians residing in Sweden and Denmark were also present. A representative of the Norwegian journalists and a representative of the Norwegian Teachers' Union also read messages and welcomed Mrs. Rajavi.
In a speech interrupted several times by the audience's enthusiastic applause, Mrs. Rajavi said: The growth and rising status of the Iranian Resistance vis-a-vis the most savage dictatorship of our times is before everything else indebted to the support a nd assistance of the friends and supporters of this Resistance in Iran and around the world. As much as we are getting closer to the day of uprooting this regime and establishing democracy in Iran, all those wishing for Iran's freedom, must rush to the ai d of this Resistance.
Mrs. Rajavi pointed out that the mullahs are not only the enemy of the people of Iran, but also the enemy of peace and friendship the world over, particularly in the Islamic countries. Then she added: Decisiveness is the only language this regime understa nds. The adoption of a firm policy against this regime and imposition of trade embargoes, coupled with support for the Iranian people's Resistance is the only way the establishment of democracy can be expedited.
