This story, even if it can happen in any part of the world or in any social level, hides something else. U might get more informations about its reality if u can obtain a copy of interview with Dr. MAHMOUDI, the father of MATOP (MAHTAB), realised by Jean-Pierre FOUCAULT, a journalist of the first french TV canal , TF1 about 1993.U have to know that this book is part of the cold war between US and IRANIAN governement. Yr youth might doesn’t permit you to know that since 1979, the relations between the The US and IRANIAN governements has been at its lowest level, and The US authorities have not missed any occasion to humiliate the Iranian nation (fingerprinting of the Iranians at the US airports is part of this plan). let’s get back to the interview :
1- Betty and her family went to Iran on JULY with about 10 bags of wool dresses, when the temperature in Tehran rises up to 40°C. ( It doesn’t seem wise to do so if she planned to stay for a short time otherwise she hides the reality).
2- Betty tries to show herself as a good mother, but why didn’t she accept that her daughter gets the mails of her father, why does she prevents her daughter to be in contact with her father? what was she scared of ?
3- Betty was so nervous when the French journalist questionned her about her life before the marriage with Dr.MAHMOUDI. She didn’t feel to have an enough high intelectual level to be proud of. And she admitted that her story has been totally rewritten by a writer to give it a more realistic and exciting aspect.
I’ll be glad to discuss about this with all of u especially Betty, Mahtab and DR.MAHMOUDI.
Good luck
