Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 8, 1997

I was at home. I read some for Friday sermons. I was supposed to perform; It turned out that Mr. Emami Kashani is also prepared thinking that it is his turn. I was happy and left it to them. He was also happy because he is going to go to Yemen next week. In addition, he consulted over the phone about the issues of Türkiye and the earthquake - how to raise them - and also about the negotiations in Yemen.

Since then, I have read about Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi for tomorrow's congress and also for an interview that I will have with an American reporter tomorrow. At noon, the children gathered. Efat had a bitter time with Faeza because last night, at the end of the night, together with Sara, Mona, Hassan and Ali, they went to Behesht Zahra, the grave of the late [Hassan] Lahoti.

In the evening, his sister Fatima and her daughter Nusrat came to visit and also to get my opinion on the execution of the will of the late Agha Mirza Ahmad - whom I am the executor of. Mr. Hossein Amin came. He appealed for the case called "Salar al-Doulah endowment" against dozens of owners. Ashikh Mohammad [Hashemian, Friday imam of Rafsanjan] and Hamid Bahrami were accused of interfering and exerting influence in this matter. I said that I will not interfere in the work of the court, but I have warned them not to deviate from the right and justice.

In the reports, the news of Mr. [Najmuddin] Erbakan, [Prime Minister of Turkey] surrendering to the pressure of the National Security Council of Turkey, which wants to prevent his Islamist actions, is of interest.
