Greeks Banned From Entering Egypt

By: Mir M.Hosseini

The Iranian governor of Egypt issued an order written in three languages according to which all Greek nationals were banned from entering Egypt. Egypt was a province of Iran for 121 years. The reason for issuing such an order was that the Greek constantly provoked Egyptians for uprising and a recent incident proved that a revolt was incited by Greeks. The revolt had been suppressed and the Greek involved had been deported while their ship were confiscated .
