Bakhtiar was born on 26 June 1914 in southwestern Iran into a family of Iranian tribal nobility: the family of the paramount chieftains of the then powerful Bakthiari tribe. His father was Mohammad Reza Khan (Sardar-e-Fateh), his mother Naz-Baygom, both Lurs and Bakhtiaris. Bakhtiar's maternal grandfather, Najaf-Gholi Khan Samsam ol-Saltaneh (a.k.a. Saad ad-Daula), was appointed prime minister twice, in 1912 and 1918. Bakhtiar's mother died when he was seven years old. Reza Shah executed his father in 1934 while Shapour was studying in Paris.
Shapour Bakhtiar received his PhD degree in political science, as well as a degree in law in 1945 could not agree with Sanjabi about how to lead the liberation of the Iranian people in 1979, allowing an Indian by the name of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to form an Islamic Arab Government in Iran.
In a move that would affect millions of Iranians then and in the future, Shahpur Bakhtiar betrayed Karim Sanjabi and his liberal and centrist National Front party by accepting the Shah of Iran's offer in 1979 to be Prime Minister of Iran. He was alone and without the Iranian people's support. As soon as Ayatollah Khomeini landed in Tehran, Shahpur Bakhtiar ran for his life, and was later butchered in his house in Paris by the Iranian Islamic intelligence services of Ayatollah Khomeini who cut his throat in cold blood. And Karim Sanjabi joined the IRI Government of Ayatollah Khomeini briefly, but after so many years of struggle to overthrow Shah of Iran, he was dismissed.
It is clear that Iranian leaders with tribal mentalities are still not capable of overthrowing the fanatical government that currently rules Iran. But armed with the teachings of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, the newly formed KODAR organisation with its contemporary approach to the vexing political and social problems in Iran can defeat the outdated policies of the Islamic terrorist Ayatollah Khomeini.
KODAR is working to teach and unite the Iranian people in their own land. It's counterparts in Syria and Turkey has already defeated Islamic terrorist organizations by giving the people their freedom and peace. The transparent strength behind the liberation of women in these territories alone is enough to defeat Islamic terrorist ideologies.
KODAR in Iran is giving the people the chance to rule themselves at all political levels from village to regional; how they organize themselves under the leadership of KODAR based on Abdullah Ocalan's philosophy is up to them. But nowhere else in the Middle East or perhaps the world do citizens have so much power over the way they are governed, and so many rights in determining how they live.
Abdullah Ocalan's philosophy can be used not only in oppressed nations such as Iran and nascent political entities such as Rojava in northern Syria, but it can also be applied in sophisticated countries such as the USA and Japan to remediate their economies. Its emphasis on social justice and environmental protection could also be the key to opening a new pathway towards peace and freedom worldwide.
