/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presidential elections in Iran were a great success,
Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Seyed Ali Segeyn told journalists
in Yerevan. "Despite the West’s efforts to represent the country’s
situation as problematic, Iran does not face a political crisis,"
the diplomat stressed. Over the past 30 years, the country faced more
serious challenges, but it didn’t lose its image. "Many western media
are currently trying to misrepresent the county’s situation to their
advantage. Their goal is to form a wrong public opinion and undermine
the country’s image," he stated.

As noted by Ambassador, Iran has become a self-sufficient and
independent country which continues to develop. "Following the model of
religious democracy, Iran is now serves as example to many states. We
simply managed to say ‘no’ to western democracy model. But we are
willing to cooperate with all the countries whose interests do not
contradict ours," the diplomat stated, adding that Iran needs reforms
whereas democracy is a long process requiring many years’ efforts.
