On May 6, 2024, the International Forum for Security and Peace in the Middle East – organized by the Executive Committee of the Arab State of Ahwaz – was held in Brussels, Belgium. At the forum, which was organized to form a coalition of the non-Persian ethnic groups in Iran against Iran's Islamic regime, the Foreign Affairs chief of the Free Balochistan Movement, Jamal Nasir Baloch, said that the Iranian Persians cannot "force their will and their identity" on the Baloch, the Kurds, the Turk-Azerbaijanis, and the Arabs, and he called for the non-Persian ethnic groups to form a "framework for cooperation, a transitional plan to achieve independence, and a NATO pact." The video was uploaded to Humgaam news on YouTube.

Jamal Nasir Baloch: "The Iranian mullah regime and the Persians are comfortable with the idea of empire. They think that they can occupy the Kurds, the Baloch, the Arabs, the Turk-Azerbaijanis, and that they can interfere in Iraq, Lebanon, Iraq, Bahrain, and Yemen.

[…]

"Baloch are not Iranian. We are only Baloch. Persians are free to call themselves whatever they want. They can call themselves Iranian-Persians or whatever, but they cannot force their will and their identity on Baloch, Kurds, Turk-Azerbaijanis, and Arabs.

"We, all non-Persian nations, must have ae framework for cooperation, a transitional plan to achieve independence, and a NATO pact."
