In remarks congratulating Christmas, George Antonio Frendo, Archbishop of Tirana and Duress, said: \u201cHail to you Mr. President. I am delighted to see you among us. We are honored by your attendance at this magnificent celebration. And I hail you Mrs. Rajavi, representing the Iranian community in our country. We pray for those in your country, who are oppressed, and enduring pain and suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n
