to Be Commemorated in Iran 2009
The Islamic Republic of Iran is all set to celebrate the 30th
anniversary of Islamic Revolution with its traditional fervor. This
occasion marks the return of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after 15
years of exile, and establishment of the first Islamic Republic
ever, in 1979. After several years of leadership of Iranians from
exile, he ultimately managed to overthrow Shah and open a new
chapter in the world’s politics. The commemoration of this historic
event will take place during ten-day celebration ceremonies, Jan 31
- Feb 10, 2009.

The celebrations will begin at the time the Ayatollah returned home
from exile. Flowers will be showered on the tomb of Ayatollah from a
helicopter circling above. Bells and whistles will accompany the
show. Many sporting events, films, music and theater festivals are
expected to take place during the 10-day celebrations. Revolutionary
themes will be screened on laser shows on each day of the
celebrations.
These shows will be conducted by Tehran Municipality’s Cultural and
Social Department, Tehran Municipality Cultural and Arts

regime.
Many other events have been lined up as a part of the 30th
