Ali Kordan

Controversial former interior minister dies

[This is a picture of the ambulance carrying him to his funeral. Sad, but perfectly befitting! I have checked the photo series on Mehr News and it's authentic.]

Tehran (DPA) - Iran's controversial former interior minister, Ali Kordan, died on Sunday, the labour news agency ILNA reported. Kordan, who was dismissed in November last year by the parliament for having presented a faked university certificate, died at the age of 51 in a Tehran hospital following a brain disease, ILNA said. Kordan came under pressure after his appointment as interior minister in August last year after the Oxford University in Britain denied having ever awarded him an honorary doctorate through its representative in Tehran, as he had claimed. The parliament eventually dismissed him with the argument that an interior minister with a faked academic certificate would damage the reputation of the Islamic system. Kordan at that time blamed parliament deputies for disgracing him and giving a pretext to the Western media for creating what he called "psychological warfare" against the Islamic state. The controversial case led to disputes between the conservative- dominated parliament and hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who had refused to sack the minister and called university certificates "pieces of torn paper."

Good eyes, He is being carried in an Amboolanse!! What the hell is an Amboolanse? Since when an AMBULACE ia called Amboolanse, and since when an Ambulance is black. Hope to see all of them being carried to Arabia, in that Amboooolanse one by one. Ahmadinijads' Phd is just as good as Kodans' Phd.

kordan or kodan

by hamsade ghadimi on

i think that his name is really kodan which explains the brain disease and fake degree.  it's befitting that the hearse that he's being carried in is called an "amboolanse."  you can credit that to another certified iri translator with a phd from harvard.
