/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Former Iranian Prime Minister Mir Hossein Musavi
said if he is elected President, he will avoid extremism which has
caused harm to the country’s national interests.

"I will follow a policy of detente and will try to gain international
community’s trust and end artificially pessimistic and extremist
positions," Musavi said

He said he will negotiate with the United States if the latter doesn’t
demand too much.

Musavi was Iran’s Prime Minister during the eight-year Iran-Iraq
war. He is staging a serious challenge to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and
is now considered one of the leading candidates in the 12 June
presidential elections.
