/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Current events in Iran can't be characterized as
"color revolution", as such revolutions are usually initiated by West,
an expert at YSU Iranian Studies Department Garnik Asatryan told a
news conference in Yerevan.
Garnik Agatryan emphasized that Iranian president has to exercise
vigilance and wisdom by agreeing to negotiate with Mir Hossein
Mousavi's supporters. Otherwise, the country could face unpredictable
consequences. According to the expert, initially the West had
a neutral position on Iranian elections, yet western forces are
gradually starting to emphasize ethnic character of elections. "Recent
presidential elections in Iran are standing out among previous ones
due to the first instance of ethnic representatives being turned into
manipulation subjects," Garnik Asatryan stated.
According to official results, provided by Iran CEC, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad won presidential elections of June 12, with 62,6% of
votes, followed by Mir Hossein Mousavi - 33,7%, Mohsen Rezaee- 1,7%
and Mehdi Karroubi - 0,85%.
