Persian and U.S. flags fluttered in New York as a lavish banquet was held at the Astoria Hotel in June 1973 to mark the opening of Iran's Tourism Organization office on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.
The event was organized by Ardeshir Zahedi, the Ambassador of Persia (Iran) to the United States, who was highly active at the time in promoting the historical attractions of his homeland. The above article was published in the Persian-language weekly Kayhan Havai.
