Tea with former British ambassador to Iran
By Cyrus Kadivar
July 13, 2000
The Iranian
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon on a cloudy June day when
Sir Denis Wright greeted me outside Haddenham Station in Buckinghamshire.
"I'm afraid I've grown older since we last met," he quipped,
shaking my hand. The former British ambassador to Imperial Iran was a wiry
man with a slightly hawkish face and attentive blue eyes. At eighty-nine
he appeared a fit and active man immersed in academic research. Wearing
a light jumper, khaki trousers and brown shoes, he seemed more like an
Oxford professor than a former diplomat. There was nothing pretentious
about him and he clearly enjoyed meeting with Iranians or anybody interested

Walls of woes
Divided Cyprus has a become a world center for dialogue
By Majid Tehranian
July 12, 2000

us everywhere. Ever since 1963, a shabby wall has divided Nicosia, the
capital of Cyprus, to separate the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Following
the war of 1974, a Green Line partitioned Cyprus. Like the Berlin Wall
during the Cold War years, that partition is a testament to human folly.
A UN peacekeeping soldier stands guard at the wall. To the question
whether we can photograph the ruins of the Turkish side, he forlornly nods
yes. There is nothing to photograph >>>

What of this cocoon in 20, 30 years?
By Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh
July 11, 2000
The Iranian
Naneh Noghli and her friends put on their best costumes every day and
sit at the doorsteps of their mud houses from sunrise to sundown. They
gossip about the old man down the alley, about their children in Tehran,
about the busloads of tourists from distant lands with their Cannons and
their bewildered looks.
Naneh Noghli is 80-years old , with emerald eyes, and a frame that barely
measures one meter, and weighs, perhaps, less than three red stones in
the desert below her mountain. From behind, with her short red dress, her
long white scarf with flowers and her black tights, I thought she was 10-years
old. >>>
