Gholhak Garden conflict
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gholhak garden conflict refers to Iran-UK conflict over the ownership of Gholhak garden in Tehran.
In 2006, 162 members of Iranian parliament wrote a letter to the speaker of Majlis, Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, demanding an investigation over the ownership of Gholhak garden.[1]
In reaction to this letter, British embassy in Tehran annaounced that the embassy has nothing to say on this issue.[2]
In 2007 Iranian parliamentary group investigated the related documents and concluded that the British ownership documents are invalid.[3] In 1934, UK registered the garden as its own possession in Iran. The registration was illegal according to the Iranian law at the time.[4]
Gholhak garden is located in northern Tehran. Since Qajar era, British government is controlling the garden.
For defending the rights of the Iranian nation, a group of the country's best law experts voluntarily are following up the Gholhak Garden file which has been taken under control by the British summer embassy in Tehran. "These law experts are willing to follow up this file in internal and international courts, so to return the nations right to its righteous place. In the Gholhak Garden file no bargains are to be made, and if officials want to bargain, they must know that we are only ready to deal Tehran's Gholhak Garden with London's Hyde Park." said an Iranian official.[5]
