"The Norwegian Nobel Committee, against its original objectives of promoting peace, has turned into a political tool in the hand of foreigners to interfere in the internal affairs of our country," Taraqi said. I am conflicted. Arafat and Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize, when they are most undeserving. And now, to have an Iranian earn it, when they are most deserving and in need of recognition of the plight of Iranians, seems justified. But, I wonder if this will return legitimacy to the award. Politics is messy.
Remember that these statements made by the Hard-liners of Iran.
They don't recoginze Global society organizations.
