PRESS RELEASE:

KALAT, Balochistan – General Secretary of the Government of Balochistan (Exile), Mir
Azaad Khan Baloch on Tuesday congratulated President George W. Bush, the 43rd
President of the United States on his country’s 230th Independence Day. Mr. Baloch sent
the following message:
MESSAGE OF CONGRATULATIONS


To:

President George W. Bush
White House
Washington, D.C.
United States of America


Dear President:
On behalf of the newly formed democratic, liberal and secular Government of
Balochistan (in Exile) and the entire Baloch nation, I would like to extend our
Message of Congratulations to you and the American nation on the 230th
Independence Day of your great country.

As a soon-to-be sovereign country, Balochistan looks up to America as a
model country to emulate. Your government has stood the test of time. Your
Declaration of Independence, your Constitution with its Bill of Rights is still in
practice since the Founding Fathers of your country drafted it and left it as a
guiding star for all subsequent generations of Americans to follow. Your
public school system is still the basis of American education. Freedom and
equality brought forth by the consequences of the civil rights movement in America will make any nation proud.

American patriotism is proof of how much your people love their country. Those who have served America have
been willing to give up more than they gained. They have had no idea how things would turn out. The men who
have signed the Declaration knew they were declaring themselves as traitors to England and would be hung if they
were caught.

The Baloch patriotism is gaining strength. Baloch freedom fighters are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to
liberate Balochistan from the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan. We – just like your country’s Founding
Fathers – have no idea how things would turn out for us. But, for the love of our country and liberty, the Baloch
nation gladly accepts to be declared traitors to Iran and Pakistan, and we are ready to face any consequences as a
result.
When Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death”, he wanted independence
and liberty of a country that did not yet exist. Your Founding Fathers tried to do
something that no colonial people had ever achieved before – to break away from the
mother country and create their own country. They were willing to risk everything to
achieve it. They were not concerned with what was going to happen in the long haul.

But, in our case, Balochistan was a sovereign country until Iran and Pakistan took away
our freedom. Through brute force, the Iranian and Pakistani governments suppressed
the aspirations of the Baloch people to liberate Balochistan. Our sense of nationhood
was systematically crushed. But, the seed of freedom remained in our hearts. Today,
that seed has sprouted and we have risen again to challenge the occupation of
Balochistan by Iran and Pakistan. We want liberty or give us death, and we are willing to
risk everything to achieve the independence of Balochistan.
On the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration, citizens came to John Adams in the last
days of his life to ask him what they should say at the ceremony on his behalf. He thought for a
minute and said, “Independence forever.”

Sir, in the spirit of this auspicious day in the history of the United States, it is important for you to
realize that similar to your Founding Fathers’ desires, the Baloch people are struggling for liberty.
We also want to have independence forever in Balochistan.
Yours truly,

Mir Azaad Khan Baloch
General Secretary
The Government of Balochistan in Exile
