/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
