36 years Empress Farah Diba the Shah of Persia and Iran abandoned. The Empress remembers that day yet. One January 16, 1979. In an interview stated thus: He was one of the most horrible days of my life, especially when I saw tears in the eyes of my husband .... Going after months of anxiety and worry, leave your land , your roots, everything you love. It was very cold, in an empty airport. Thinking what happens, where we go, where does a country like Iran following fanatics. All young people, like my own children with whom he had not had time to talk. It was a terrible day has been marked in my eyes as an indelible mark, forever .... It was not a precisely sunny day. I remember there some people, some officers, pilots, kneeling on the ground begging my husband to not be. I especially remember the sky when Iran started flying. Iran Looking from above. But to say that since we took off, not depressed or going crazy, I started doing things. I asked my husband permission to start writing letters to people who was giving strength to resist the radicals ... You know? live away from ones country is more diverse than it may seem. What you see, what you smell ...... Iranians say this land is beautiful, but its not mine. Sometimes when I bring something of Iran as a pear or a peach, I eat it with relish. The most intense are these simple, natural things. The interview continues, but is very long. The life of this woman like the Imperial family would film. It was like a story of 1001 Nights. He married the emperor, got an empire. They modernized, made mistakes and lost everything. After 2500 years Iran changed forever and worse. Because women lost the rights to the Shah had given them, and repression was brutal for everyone, including American residents there. True, must have given the country a constitution, but as Farah said diba: My husband wanted people to have food which is alfabetizara and go slowly opening to a democratic system, because it is not achieved overnight aa morning in a country like Iran. To those who say that we were going too fast I ask: And what is supposed to be the correct speed? And do not forget that, during the Cold War our neighbor was the Soviet Union that had become obsessed with oil from the Persian Gulf and the Communist Party of Iran (Tudeh) received direct orders from Moscow years. More Fear Sha had the Communists that the ayatollahs was wrong about that. I just hope that someday this magnificent woman can return home and see his son again be crowned Shah and see their four granddaughters play in the gardens of the Imperial Palace where he once lived. He died in exile, is something horrible. From here I send support to his Majesty. I would love to meet you both. While I read Ben Kingsgley sha make a movie this year. Lets see how it will be.
