Mrs. Maryam Rajavi meets the Chair of the Socialist Movement for Integration Party and wife of Albanian President Ilir Meta, Ms. Monika Kryemadhi- Wednesday, January 29, 2020- Ashraf 3, Albania

On Wednesday a delegation from Albania’s Socialist Movement for Integration Party traveled to Ashraf-3, the MEK’s headquarters in Albania to meet with the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. The delegation was headed by Albanian MP

Monika Kryemadhi, the Chair of the Socialist Movement for Integration Party and wife of Albanian President Ilir Meta.


Ms. Kryemadhi was joined by Deputy Chair Petrit Vasili and Eriol Braimllari, her Chief of Staff. The delegation toured Ashraf-3’s museum commemorating 120 Years of Struggle for Freedom in Iran, visited the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/ MEK Iran) residents of Ashraf-3, and met with Mrs. Rajavi.

Force and Motivation

Kryemadhi was pleased with the warm welcome she received at Ashraf-3, which she called “a beautiful city” and was struck by the strength and determination of the members of the Iranian Resistance in their fight for freedom and democracy.

In describing her visit to the museum, she said, “What I saw was shocking. But I felt privileged to have been given the opportunity to visit the museum and sensed the strength of women and men in your movement in the way they fought for democracy in Iran. I learned a lot from my visit.”

Ms. Kryemadhi also called attention to the commonalities between the MEK and the Albanian people. “In your museum and in the book of martyrs, I found the force and motivation of the Iranian Resistance to fight for freedom and democracy. This is the same force that enabled the people of Albania to achieve freedom and democracy,” she said. “I now understand why the regime in Iran is so afraid of you because you have the mindset and the mentality to bring democracy to your country, something which is reflected in your Ten-point Plan.”

Praise for Albania

Mrs. Rajavi welcomed the delegation and thanked the Albanian people for their hospitality in hosting the MEK in their country. She also expressed confidence that the Iranian Resistance would prevail in the fight against the mullahs.

“We are delighted to enjoy cross-party support in Albania. Today, the Iranian people are at a watershed moment in their history. The uprisings in November 2019 and January 2020 again demonstrated that the people of Iran, especially the youth and the Resistance Units, are determined to end the religious dictatorship with all its factions. To achieve freedom, they are willing to pay whatever price. I have no doubt that Iran will be free very soon,” she said.

Mrs. Rajavi went on to praise the Albanian government for their recent expulsion of the Iranian regime ambassador and three diplomats from the country, saying that the vigilance and decisiveness of the move reflected its commitment to humanitarian values. The behavior leading to the expulsions also reinforced the reality that the clerical regime in Iran is not willing or able to change its behavior.

Mrs. Rajavi held up Albania’s actions as an example for other countries in adopting a firm policy toward the mullahs’ regime and emphasized that the rest of the world should follow its lead.
