Post-electoral unrest in Iran - internal conflict inside the state
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%).
