    Archbishop Sibveh Sarkisyan of Tehran on Wednesday called for
    Armenian fellow citizens to actively take part in run-off
    presidential election more than the first round.

    "As Iranian free citizens, we are expected to fulfill our national
    obligation in the election to determine our own fate which will help
    us take next steps to achieve our rights with self-confidence," he
    said in a statement faxed to IRNA.

    "Once again dear Iranians are expected to go to polls to reinforce
    pillars of democracy and display public belief in democracy,"
    Archbishop Sibveh Sarkisyan said.

    He said that members of Armenian community must show national
    solidarity with taking part in the election contributing to national
    sovereignty and territorial integrity.
