Speech by Senator Robert Torricelli in the European Parliament

By Sid Ahmed Ghozali - I have met many Iranian resistance fighters. I have regularly attended many of their gatherings and meetings in many different European countries, and learnt many things from them.
I believe there is a common denominator between the destiny of the peoples of all Arabic and Islamic countries, and in this path to destiny, one can not ignore the Iranian factor.

I am certain that the removal of this regime in Iran will reverse this process and will pave the way for democratic changes in many countries of the region.
