/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Supporters of the Iranian opposition leader,
Mir Hossein Mousavi, have taken to the streets of Tehran shouting
"Death to the dictator", BBC reported.

Witnesses say the protesters were at Vanak Square, where riot police
were deployed. Others were repeatedly hooting their car horns on
nearby roads, they said.

On Wednesday, clashes broke out between police and opposition
supporters after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was sworn in for a
second term in office.

The opposition disputes the official result of the presidential
election on 12 June, which gave Mr Ahmadinejad an overwhelming
victory. After the poll, thousands of people took to the streets in the
largest mass demonstrations in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Mr Ahmadinejad has received the backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, who says he was the rightful winner and that Iranians had
"voted in favor of a fight against arrogance, to confront destitution
and spread justice".

After taking his oath of office, Mr Ahmadinejad defended the official
results and criticized Western powers’ response to the disputed poll.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
