Declaration for the foundation of the “Democratic Coalition of Nations in Iran”

Considering the sameness of national oppression that all nations in Iran have suffered for a
century and through a process of consultations and discussions, we, the organizations
mentioned below, have decided to form the “Democratic Coalition of Nations in Iran.” This
Coalition aims to assert and secure the absolute rights of existing nations in Iran that have been
violated for many years. The Coalition intends to create an opportunity for coexistence with
respect and equal rights in democratic governance based on the right of self-determination of
the nations, in which the distribution of power, wealth and resources is guaranteed. The
Democratic Coalition of Nations in Iran considers the current revolution in Iran as a rightful
revolution, arising from forty-four years of oppression, repression and corruption of the Islamic
regime in Iran, which is rooted in the oppressions of the former monarchic regime.
The Democratic Coalition of Nations in Iran believes in the principle of dialogue between all
the parties and organizations who struggle against the Islamic regime and those who are not
affiliated with the Islamic regime of Iran. We believe achieving freedom, justice and democracy
in Iran is possible with cooperation, unity and convergence of opposition forces.
The parties and organizations that are members of the Democratic Coalition of Nations
in Iran in alphabetical order are:
Arab Struggle Movement for Ahwaz – ASMLA
Azerbaijan Center Party – ACP
Baluchistan Raji Tepaky Gal
Democratic Party of South Azerbaijan – GADP
National Resistance Organization of Azerbaijan – Diranish
Qashqai Freedom Party – Qayi
South Azerbaijan Student Movement – AZOH
Hope for freedom and justice for all oppressed nations in Iran
