Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 12, 1995

The issue of disagreement between the parliament in the German government over relations with Iran has been raised and the parliament demands the resignation of the German foreign minister. The members of the women's affairs commissions attached to the Ministry of Interior came; They are under the supervision of the political vice-presidents of the governorates. The wife of Mr. Basharti, the country's minister, gave the report. I also talked about the success and rights and positions of women.

The market regulation headquarters had a meeting. We approved the regulation of sale of confiscated smuggled goods. We allowed the Ministry of Jihad to export live sheep to lower the price of meat and import meat instead. With every kilo of exported sheep, we can import two kilos of meat, because Iranian male meat is very high quality in the Persian Gulf region. At noon, Hamid Lahoti had lunch with me; He usually comes for lunch for his work.

In the evening, in the meeting of the government board, the discussions were about the budget and its currency section. I was the guest of Ayatollah Khamenei that night. Issues related to the army, Friday prayers, the seminary, Mr. [Ahmed] Azari [Qami] and his anti-leadership positions, and the works of Mr. [Nasser] Makarem Shirazi, and the results of negotiations with Mrs. [Benazir] Bhutto, and the issues of Afghanistan, Germany and Iran, were discussed. It was discussed about jurisprudential issues and his opinion about music, that the declaration of opposition to music education and subsequent affirmative talks created ambiguity, and his explanation that he is against excess and development and agrees with the principle of work and use is reasonable and moderate. They said that in the future, they will investigate the impurity of Khmer; It seems that the evidence is impure, weak, but the research is incomplete.
