Talk:Pan-Iranist Party
Appearance
Alright.. the info seems incorrect e.g. Forouhar being the co-founder, I will fix it up later. --K a s h Talk | email 00:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Pan-Iranist website does not say anything about a "Revenge group" and neither does the book. The party was founded by Forouhar and Pezeshkpour, according to official party literature and the book "Hezb-e-Pan-Iranist". Etemad 12:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thats incorrect. Forouhar joined later. The revenge group was an underground organization not known to many. I am using the latest and most complete book on the matter, "50 years history of the Pan-Iranists" written by Naser Entegha who joined the party at the same time of Forouhar. There was a Forouhar who was one of the first members but it was not Darius Forouhar and not related to him --K a s h Talk | email 12:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have never heard of the "Revenge group" or know of its connection to PIP but it is impossible for Forouhar not to have been one of the founding members. In every book and document I have read his name is listed alongside Pezeshkpour as the two who started the PIP, and Forouhar is always credited as being the only one to stay true to Pan-Iranism movement.

- Actually, if you read the official statement on their history: [1] you wont see Darius Forouhar as one of the founders --K a s h Talk | email 12:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think the website has changed its position on this a few times. The Forouhar and Pezeshkpour factions always fought with each other but after Forouhar's murder at the hands of Said Imami (ordered by Rafsanjani) they seemed to try to get along for awhile. But I guess now the Pezeshkpour has decided to return to its old ways. He has no shame. Not only is he a sell-out to the movement but he is intentionally trying to play down Forouhar's role in the movement. Motassefaneh. At least Forouhar will always be remembered by people as the most important and loyal Pan-Iranist who has ever lived and no one has yet been able to do better than him.

- Look..the article is no where finished. It will have complete details of Forouhars involvement as leader with Pezeshkpour. However Forouhar was not one of the founders --K a s h Talk | email 14:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- The book "Hezb-e-Pan-Iranist" and many articles (search on google, including iranian.com) disagrees with you about that. Many sources say he is one of two original founders. What this new source you are talking about sounds like an attempt by Pezeshkpour faction to downplay Forouhars position and revise the history. Did the author remain with Pezeshkpour? That would explain everything. Etemad 14:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- No I don't think so. This book claims that there has been a lot of non-sense about Pan-Iranism before and this puts it all straight. Naser Engheta is quite respectable guy, editor for the Iranshahr newspaper for years and I doubt that this was done under influence of Pezeshkpour. It is a very detailed book. What do you mean, did the author remain with Pezeshkpour? I don't think they were married..! But I will investigate more --K a s h Talk | email 14:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
