/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Post-electoral unrest in Iran is the state’s internal
affair, so I don’t find it right to make any assessments, Caucasus
Institute Director Alexander Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
correspondent. Tense situation in Iran following presidential elections
will not affect neighboring states, let alone change Tehran’s attitude
to Armenia. "I’ll again repeat myself by saying that it’s a conflict
inside the state, so it’s better to refrain from making assessments,"
he stressed.
It’s already a week Iran has seen mass protests. Over 1 million
people have today gathered in streets to support opposition leader
Mir Hossein Musavi. Almost the entire town is participating in the
demonstration. According to official results published by Iranian CEC,
winner in presidential elections is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who received
62.6% of votes. Reformer Mir Hossein, 33.7%, came next, followed by
Mohsen Rezai (1.7%) and Mehdi Karrubi (0.85%).
