Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior foreign affairs advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, says division among Muslims is the most serious blight of the Islamic Awakening.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “The Islamic Awakening has a 150-year history that has experienced major acceleration in recent years,” Velayati said on Thursday.

He further described Iran as the center of attention for all freedom-seekers in the world that have revolted against their enemies by following Iran as a model Islamic system.

Velayati reiterated that Iran is neither dependent on Western nor Eastern countries, adding that this independence is “a great honor.”

“The sacred Islamic revolution of Iran is, without any exaggerations, a turning point in the history of mankind,” he said.

The advisor to the Leader stressed that no administration can be as active as that of Iran in supporting the deprived and oppressed people of the world.
