Here are four steps towards world peace that must be taken concerning Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan:
Recognition of Reza Pahlavi as Iran’s rightful head of state, recognition of Iranians’ demand for constitutionalism.
Cyrus Accords and extension of the Abraham Accords.
Cancel the treaties of Gulistan and Turkmenchay
Support the independence of countries occupied by Russia such as Karelia, Tatarstan and Circassia
Step One. Look at every demonstration of Iranians worldwide. Look at the voices you find on social media. Look at surveys conducted. Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s rightful head of state, is the most popular and only unifying leader for Iranians. Polls also show that constitutional monarchy is the most popular form of government. The constitution must come back into effect on the day the regime falls. Constantly indulging fake opposition figures like Masih Alinejad and Hamed Esmaeilion will only prolong the life of the regime.
Step Two. When Iran is free from Islamic Republic rule, the Cyrus Accords will end regional conflict along with extension of the Abraham Accords. Regional cooperation between the Arab World, Israel and Iran, extending into the Caucasus and Central Asia, will benefit humanity. It will also have a transformative effect on Western politics as lobby groups will decline in influence (see the Good Friday Agreement as an example).
Step Three. Iran is constantly threatened by those who wish to undermine its identity, unity and territorial integrity. Most recently, an MP from “Azerbaijan” (the Baku Regime) wanted to rename his “country” to “North Azerbaijan”, which implies claims to Iranian territory. The treaties of Gulistan and Turkmenchay, grossly unjust and humiliating for Iran, must be cancelled on the day the regime falls. The treaty created the modern-day territories of Azerbaijan and Dagestan, occupied by the regimes of Baku and Moscow who oppress indigenous peoples within.
Step Four. Relating to Step Three, Russia has for the last 500 years occupied and oppressed countless nations, often involving genocide. This includes Tatarstan, Karelia and Circassia. The solution to the problem of wars concerning Russia is the disbanding of the so-called Russian Federation and the granting of independence to occupied lands. The people living under occupation of Russia and Azerbaijan will see Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Iran, as natural allies.
I challenge world powers to consider these proposals. It is in everyone’s interest to do so.
