I went to the city of Shahsak.  We visited the highway construction in the Loniz Valley.  The people of the small village of Luniz were gathering to welcome. We visited the tunnels under construction.  In the case of long tunnels, three tunnels are also built;  One went back, the other is back, and in the middle of them, a five -meter -long tunnel for access, ventilation and support when construction and operation. 
We were there for lunch and rest.  Chastity and some relatives also came there on the way to Ramsar.  Then we went along the project to Chalus, and Mr. Miri explained.  I passed it for the first time after the Kandovan tunnel renovation;  It's good.  In the twenty -first piece we got near Chalus.  Engineer [Saber] Afrand, [North Parts Project Manager] explained.  He has been in Kurdistan for two years in Kurdistan.

We moved to Ramsar.  On the way we visited the Salt Town.  At eight o'clock we entered the Ramsar residence.  The kids were waiting.  The air is warm.

The UN General Assembly has condemned Israel for the re -occupation of the West and Gaza and has issued a resolution to get out of Israel.  The UN Security Council has called on Iraq to accept UN inspectors without a condition, and the US Congress has rejected the invitation of Saadoun Hamadi, the Iraqi parliament's head.  Hamadi, in a letter to the US Congress, asked to go to Iraq to see the centers they think, the center of production weapons is to go to Iraq. The White Capage has also said that nothing will be reluctant to change the Iraqi regime.  

Mr [Seyyed Mahmoud] Hashemi Shahroudi, [Head of the Judiciary], has answered 151 MPs [on the ruling of the Freedom Movement] court.  The reaction of the government's proposed 38 billion USD and the possible approval of the parliament to help Afghanistan is high;  Especially since it is from the sale of government factories.
