Description:

'Iran, Persia. The Thousand and One Nights.

The land of Ayatollah Khomeini, heroin smugglers, Shiite fundamentalists, women in black chadors. Ancient fire altars, followers of Zoroaster.

Iran is also the country of fairy-tale cities like Esfahan, Yazd, Mashad, of fascinating ruins of Persepolis, of almost tropical rainforests on the Caspian Sea and scorching sand and salt deserts. Iran is above all a country of warm-hearted people who yearn for democracy and freedom.

It is a complex country, developing rapidly, both socio-economically and politically and religiously. In any case, it is 'different' than the West thinks. Different than it is portrayed in the media. It is constantly balancing on the sharp edge that separates grace from horror.'
