CAVI Spokesperson Rouhii Shafii who attended the March 8 rally back in 1979 without having to wear hijabs asked, "Well, my friend, here we are at the end of your questions and still many questions remain unanswered. For example, why did we Iranians make such a huge historical mistake and brought about an Islamic regime into power which recked our prospering country and made us the laughing stock of the world? And why do you the people of Turkey whose country was a secular state with much scope to join the EU and get out of the orbit of backwardness suddenly got a regime which has stayed for so long and changed your way of life towards what we call a historical catastrophe? "
