And 14 years ago, the city of Bam in eastern Iran was hit with 6.6 quakes killing 26,000 people. In the 1960s and 1970s, Buin Zahra, Tabas, Qaenat, Dasht Byaz and Ferows were completely smashed to the ground, and more than 60,000 people were killed. Compared to these earthquakes, the recent one in Kermanshah Province, western Iran, was less destructive, with 430 people killed and 7,460 people injured in Sar-e Pol Zahab and Qasr-e Shirin.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: despite the fact that death of even one person in natural disasters is a great tragedy, the recent disaster has a silver lining and that is a considerable reduction of casualties compared to magnitude 7 earthquakes that used to hit Iran before. No rational person can approve of devastation of buildings of Mehr Housing Project, or of 40% destruction of a newly-built hospital in West Islamabad, and the culprits for these deficiencies and shortcomings must be held accountable; nonetheless, going over statistics of human and financial casualties of earthquake in Kermanshah Province shows that condition of urban and rural construction has improved.<br \/>\nThe editorialist ends on a hopeful note that the experience of other earthquake-prone countries show that it is not impossible to minimize devastations and casualties. And certainly, with systematization of construction, monitoring, and training, the statistics due to natural disasters, including formidable earthquakes in Iran, can reach zero.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in Ebtekar on November 15, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Why We Don\u2019t Learn the Lesson<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nJahan Sanat, in its editorial, addresses the recent deadly earthquake which hit western Iran and left hundreds of people dead and thousands injured.<br \/>\nThe editorial underscores that the earthquake a natural disaster, which can be seen in different places of the world. But the difference is that in a country like Japan, they are constantly preparing themselves for fighting earthquakes, and before the disaster takes place, they equip themselves with all facilities and depend on up-to-date sciences.<br \/>\nThe editorial continues: even though there have been many earthquakes in Iran \u2013 with the recent one on Sunday night in western part of the country, killing many and causing a lot of damages \u2013 none of these disasters has been instructive, because there is still no training, pre-emptive measures, correct relief and rescue operation, etc. for confronting this natural disaster before and after an earthquake.<br \/>\nThe editorialist gives a partial list of the most fatal earthquakes in Iran such as in Buin Zahra, Tabas, Manjil and recently in Bam. He then points out that none of these natural disasters has been taken as an instructive example for preparing the country to confront such disasters.<br \/>\nIn conclusion, the editorial urges: confronting natural and unnatural disasters has its own laws and rules. If not prevented, dimensions of disasters can be controlled. Confronting earthquakes requires scientific methods, and should not be left to fate and destiny.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Jahan Sanat&#8221; on November 14, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb<\/span> Banning National Names?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe editorial of Bahar daily considers recent announcement of Iran\u2019s National Organization for Civil Registration (NOCR), according to which changing religious names to national and Iranian names are banned.<br \/>\nThe editorial points out that with this decision, cultural officials seem to have put a ban on national names, following their decisions for boycotting national occasions in Iran. The editorialist calls this one of the \u2018strangest decisions of NOCR\u2019 since its foundation. Previously, national, Iranian names were just disgraced by the state-run TV and radio, IRIB, in which negative, mean characters had Iranian, national names like Cyrus, Darius, Rambod, etc., and good, charismatic characters had religious names, like Hossein, Hassan, etc.<br \/>\nThe editorial agrees that given the bearing of names on individuals\u2019 identities, certain names must be forbidden to be used, such as Hungry, Bottle, Mosquito, Mustachio, Dragon, etc. Still, NOCR\u2019s new approach as to banning change of religious names into national names seems to indicate that this organization is incapable of understanding social, political and cultural changes, and is just doing as ordered.<br \/>\nThe editorial closes with the implication of changes in name trends: naming trends have meaningful relationships with social, political and cultural changes, and existing realities of changes in these trends point to cultural and social changes within a society. NOCR must have a scientific attitude towards these changes and trends.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in Bahar daily on November 13, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Choosing Right Path<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe editorial of Bahar daily focuses on significances of recent meetings of Iran\u2019s heads of three branches. In 12 days, they held two meetings \u2013 an unprecedented incident \u2018showing a change in the relationship of heads of the executive, judiciary, and legislative branches\u2019.<br \/>\nAccording to the editorial, during former president Ahmadinejad\u2019s government and due to unprecedented increase in tensions among the then president and heads of other two branches, such meetings between heads of branches were not held, and even by decree of Iran\u2019s leader, Ali Khamenei, a council was formed to resolve issues between the branches.<br \/>\nNow, such meetings are held regularly, says the editorial. The truth is the reason for such meetings is not just the \u2018spirit of interaction in President Hassan Rouhani\u2019, but also the sensitive conditions in the country. Under current dire conditions when unity and convergence between the country\u2019s officials are required more than any other time, meeting with heads of 3 branches is a way for increasing such convergence.<br \/>\nThe other reason for such meetings, the editorial goes on to say, is widespread protests of those who have lost their money in financial institutes such as Caspian Credit Institution. In such cases, the right path is coordination among all 3 branches and paying attention to the fact that without the cooperation of all 3 branches, solving such complicated problems is impossible.<br \/>\nThe third and final significance of holding such meetings, the editorialist holds, is the possibility of direct, face-to-face talks among heads of branches. In past months, there were indirect talks full of insinuations among the country\u2019s officials, which created tensions in the country\u2019s political atmosphere.<br \/>\nThe editorial concludes that holding such meetings regularly can result in easing political tensions in Iran.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">An editorial in &#8220;Bahar daily&#8221; on November 12, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Price of Being Candid!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nAfkar news editorial deals with seizure of Kayhan newspaper for two days, on a charge of publishing title against national security.
