Velvet revolution attempt undertaken in Iran
An attempt of 'velvet revolution', a symbol of the 21st century, is undertaken in Iran like in other countries of the region, an Armenian historian said.
"Some 500 opposition activists are reported to be in custody now but the situation is under control. The wave of protest has been already labeled as 'green revolution', as it was initiated by young people, who want to have a leader capable to help the country out of the stalemate," Gohar Iskandaryan, member of department of Iranian studies at the RA Academy of Sciences, told PanARMENIAN.Net
Touching on the Armenian-Iranian relations she said that bilateral relations acquired new coloring since Ahmadinejad assumed the office.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected with 62.6 percent of the vote, against 33.7 percent for his main rival Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
