These days all the people in South Azerbaijan,in so called Iran talking about this lake.The parliament of Iran’s regime passed a law in which they decided to leave the Urmia lake to dry up.Billion tones of salt will destroy the cities and the nature of South Azerbaijan and this is exactly what Iran’s regime were planning for.One of the members of the parliament,Musa Alreza Servati saying that instead of spending a lot of money for surviving Urmia lake,it is better for South Azerbaijani Turks to leave the homeland and live in other places where are far from the disaster!!!!!
This dirty policy of Iran’s regime will be answered by South Azerbijani Turks in Tabriz,Urmia and other big cities by street meetings and demonstrations.
