Nowruz - Persian New year
A 2577 Years Old Tradition of Life & Joy Celebrated by Iranian Persians All Over The World

US Government Official's Recognition of Nowruz and Presidents' Message to The iranians


President Obama's Nowruz Message To The Iranian People, March 20, 2011 - White House News ...

Today, I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Nowruz in the United States and around the world.

Each year of my presidency, I have marked this holiday by speaking directly to the people of Iran. That is what I would like to do once more.

This is a holiday for the Iranian people to spend time with friends and family; to reflect on the extraordinary blessings that you enjoy; and to look forward to the promise of a new day. After all, this is a season of hope and renewal. And today, we know that this is also a season of promise across the Middle East and North Africa, even as there are also enormous challenges.

I believe that there are certain values that are universal -- the freedom of.... ...peaceful assembly and association; the ability to speak your mind and choose your leaders. And what we are seeing across the region is the insistence on governments that are accountable to the people.

But we also know that these movements for change are not unique to these last few months. The same forces of hope that swept across Tahrir Square were seen in Azadi Square in June of 2009. And just as the people of the region have insisted that they have a choice in how they are governed, so do the governments of the region have a choice in their response.

So far, the Iranian government has responded by demonstrating that it cares far more about preserving its own power than respecting the rights of the Iranian people.

For nearly two years, there has been a campaign of intimidation and abuse. Young and old; men and women; rich and poor -- the Iranian people have been persecuted. Hundreds of prisoners of conscience are in jail. The innocent have gone missing. Journalists have been silenced. Women tortured. Children sentenced to death.

The world has watched these unjust actions with alarm. We have seen Nasrin Sotoudeh jailed for defending human rights; Jaffar Panahi imprisoned and unable to make his films; Abdolreza Tajik thrown in jail for being a journalist. The Bahai community and Sufi Muslims punished for their faith; Mohammad Valian, a young student, sentenced to death for throwing three stones.

These choices do not demonstrate strength, they show fear. For it is telling when a government is so afraid of its own citizens that it won.t even allow them the freedom to access information or to communicate with each other. But the future of Iran will not be shaped by fear. The future of Iran belongs to the young people -- the youth who will determine their own destiny.

Over 60% of the Iranian people were born after 1979. You are not bound by the chains of the past -- the distracting hatred of America that will create no jobs or opportunity; the rigid and unaccountable government; the refusal to let the Iranian people realize their full potential for fear of undermining the authority of the state.

Instead, you -- the young people of Iran -- carry within you both the ancient greatness of Persian civilization, and the power to forge a country that is responsive to your aspirations. Your talent, your hopes, and your choices will shape the future of Iran, and help light the world. And though times may seem dark, I want you to know that I am with you.

On this day -- a celebration that serves as a bridge from the past to the future -- I would like to close with a quote from the poet Simin Behbahani -- a woman who has been banned from travelling beyond Iran, even though her words have moved the world: .Old, I may be, but, given the chance, I will learn. I will begin a second youth alongside my progeny. I will recite the Hadith of love of country with such fervor as to make each word bear life..

Let this be a season of second youth for all Iranians -- a time in which a new season bears new life once more. Thank you. And Aid-e-Shoma Mobarak.

President Obama's Nowruz Message To The Iranian People, March 20, 2009 - White House News
Thursday, March 19th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
A New Year, A New Beginning

President Obama released a special video message for all those celebrating Nowruz. Translated "New Day," Nowruz marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of the New Year for millions in Iran and other communities around the world. This year, the President wanted to send a special message to the people and government of Iran on Nowruz, acknowledging the strain in our relations over the last few decades. "But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds us together," he says.

After committing his administration to a future of honest and respectful diplomacy, he continues on to address Iran's leaders directly: "You, too, have a choice. The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right -- but it comes with real responsibilities, and that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization. And the measure of that greatness is not the capacity to destroy, it is your demonstrated ability to build and create."

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE           March 20, 2009
VIDEOTAPED REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN CELEBRATION OF NOWRUZ

THE PRESIDENT: Today I want to extend my very best wishes to all who are celebrating Nowruz around the world.

This holiday is both an ancient ritual and a moment of renewal, and I hope that you enjoy this special time of year with friends and family.

In particular, I would like to speak directly to the people and leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Nowruz is just one part of your great and celebrated culture. Over many centuries your art, your music, literature and innovation have made the world a better and more beautiful place.

Here in the United States our own communities have been enhanced by the contributions of Iranian Americans. We know that you are a great civilization, and your accomplishments have earned the respect of the United States and the world.

For nearly three decades relations between our nations have been strained. But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds us together. Indeed, you will be celebrating your New Year in much the same way that we Americans mark our holidays -- by gathering with friends and family, exchanging gifts and stories, and looking to the future with a renewed sense of hope.

Within these celebrations lies the promise of a new day, the promise of opportunity for our children, security for our families, progress for our communities, and peace between nations. Those are shared hopes, those are common dreams.

So in this season of new beginnings I would like to speak clearly to Iran's leaders. We have serious differences that have grown over time. My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us, and to pursuing constructive ties among the United States, Iran and the international community. This process will not be advanced by threats. We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect.

You, too, have a choice. The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right -- but it comes with real responsibilities, and that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization. And the measure of that greatness is not the capacity to destroy, it is your demonstrated ability to build and create.

So on the occasion of your New Year, I want you, the people and leaders of Iran, to understand the future that we seek. It's a future with renewed exchanges among our people, and greater opportunities for partnership and commerce. It's a future where the old divisions are overcome, where you and all of your neighbors and the wider world can live in greater security and greater peace.

I know that this won't be reached easily. There are those who insist that we be defined by our differences. But let us remember the words that were written by the poet Saadi, so many years ago: "The children of Adam are limbs to each other, having been created of one essence."

With the coming of a new season, we're reminded of this precious humanity that we all share. And we can once again call upon this spirit as we seek the promise of a new beginning.

Thank you, and Eid-eh Shoma Mobarak.

سخنان پرزيدنت باراک اوباما
جشن نوروز
واشنگتن دی سی
مارس 2009

امروز می خواهم بهترين آرزوهای خود را به همۀ کسانی که نوروز را در سرتاسر جهان جشن می گيرند تقديم کنم

اين جشن، هم يک آيين باستانی و هم زمانی برای بازآفرينی است و اميدوارم که شما از اين فرصت ويژۀ سال برای بودن در جمع دوستان و خانواده بهره گيريد.

من بويژه می خواهم به طور مستقيم با مردم و رهبران جمهوری اسلامی ايران صحبت کنم

نوروز تنها بخشی از فرهنگ نام آور شماست. هنر، موسيقی، ادبيات و نوآوری شما جهان را به دنيايی زيباتر و بهتر تبديل کرده است اينجا، در ايالات متحده، جامعه خود ما هم در پرتو سهمی که آمريکاييان ايرانی تبار ادا کرده اند پربارتر شده است ما از تمدن بزرگ شما آگاهيم دستاوردهای شما احترام ايالات متحده و جهان را برانگيخته است

برای مدتی نزديک به سه دهه روابط ميان دو کشور تيره و تار بوده است ولی اين جشن، ياد آوری برای نقاط
مشترک بشريت است که همه ما را به هم پيوند می دهد. از بسياری جهات شما نيز مانند ما سال نو خود را همانگونه برگزار می کنيد که ما جشن می گيريم. با گردآمدن با دوستان و افراد خانواده، مبادلۀ هدايا و داستانها و نگاه به آينده، با احساس تازه ای از اميدواری.

در بطن اين جشن
ها، نويدی برای يک روز بهتر، اميدی برای فرزندان ما، امنيت برای خانواده های ما، پيشرفت برای جوامع ما و آشتی ميان ملتها نهفته است. اينها اميدواريهای مشترکند. اينها روياهای مشترکند

پس
اين فصلی برای آغازی نو است. من ميل دارم به روشنی با رهبران ايران سخن بگويم.

ما
اختلافاتی جدی داريم که با گذشت زمان بر آنها افزوده شده است. دولت من اکنون به ديپلماسی متعهد است که طيف کاملی از مسائلی را که پيش روی ماست مورد بررسی قرار می دهد و در صدد ايجاد يک پيوند سازنده ميان ايالات متحده، ايران و جامعۀ جهانی است. اين فرايند با تهديد به پيش نمی رود. به جای آن ما خواستار برقراری ارتباطی صادقانه و مبتنی بر احترام متقابل هستيم

شما نيز در
برابر خود انتخابی داريد. ايالات متحده مايل است که جمهوری اسلامی ايران بر جايگاه راستين خود در جامعۀ بين الملل قرار بگيرد. شما دارای چنين حقی هستيد اما اين حق با مسئوليت های واقعی همراه است و به اين جايگاه نه از راه ترور يا به مدد جنگ افزار، بلکه از طريق اقدامات مسالمت آميز که نشان دهندۀ بزرگی حقيقی ملت و تمدن ايران است می توان دست يافت. و معيار سنجش اين بزرگی داشتن توانايی برای ويران کردن نيست، نشان دادن توانايی شما برای ساختن و آفريدن است.

بنا براين، به مناسبت فرارسيدن سال نو شما، مايلم شما، مردم و رهبران ايران بدانيد که ما در جستجوی چگونه آينده ای هستيم. اين آينده ای است همراه با مبادلات تجديد شده ميان مردم ما، و فرصتهای بزرگتری برای مشارکت و بازرگانی. اين آينده ای است که در آن اختلافات ديرين برطرف شده اند، آينده ای که در آن شما و همسايگانتان و جهان در بعد وسيع تر می توانيم همه در صلح و امنيت بهتری زندگی کنيم

من مى دانم که اين منظور به آسانی تحقق پذير نیست. کسانی هستند که اصرار دارند ما را بر اساس اختلافاتی
که داريم معرفی کنند. اما شايسته است کلماتی را که ساليانی پيش به وسيلۀ سعدیِ نگاشته شده به خاطر آوريم: "بنی آدم اعضای يکديگرند، که در آفرينش ز يک گوهرند."

فرا رسيدن يک فصل نو، اين انسانيت گرانبها
را که همۀ ما در آن مشترکيم به ما ياد آوری می کند. يکبار ديگر به اين روح متعالی توسل جسته و نويد آغازی دوباره را بجوييم.

سپاسگزارم. عيد شما مبارک
