Representatives of national minorities migrated from Iran to America accuse Persian branches of Radio Liberty and Voice of America radio stations of propagating chauvinism and national discrimination. This charge was reflected in the US Congressâ€™s investigation. The representatives of ethnic Iranian national minorities living in the US sent a letter to director of Voice of America Dan Austin accusing the Persian service of the organization of not touching problems of national minorities living in Iran and propagating Iranian chauvinism. The letter authors said that they monitored broadcasts of Voice of Americaâ€™s Persian branch and proved that only 2 of the those 132 attendees of the broadcast represented Iranian national minorities. Moreover, those national minorities were required to state Persians as a master nation. Other ethnic Persian guests were involved in propagating Rza Pahlavi and his son living in the USA./APA/
