ANKARA, Turkey: Iranian Culture and Islamic Guidance
Minister Mohammad Hosseini visited the Turkish ambassador to Iran Umit
Yardim to hold talks about Tehran’s decision to purchase founder of
Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatullah Ruhullah Al-Khomeini Al-Mousavi’s
residence in Bursa where he resided during his exile.
The minister proposed the idea of converting the residence into an
Iranian cultural office, the Persian service of MNA reported on
Sunday.
In November 1964, Ayatullah Khomeini was arrested and taken for
immediate banishment to Turkey. The Imam was first lodged in Ankara,
and a few days later, he was moved from Ankara to Bursa where he was
to reside for about a year.
Bursa Municipality has agreed to the proposal, Hosseini said, adding
that Iranian representatives in Istanbul and Ankara are currently
pursuing the matter.
Hosseini asked the Turkish ambassador to support the decision and said
that this would encourage more Iranians to travel to Turkey to visit
Imam’s residence there.
