IRAN-BASED ARMENIAN MP: ARMENIAN COMMUNITY IS EMIGRATING
Karen Khandlaryan, member of parliament of the Islamic Republic of
Iran said today in Yerevan that the latest presidential elections
in Iran recorded an unprecedented result. Before elections, three
main forces in Iran, fundamentalists, extremists and reformists,
launched an active campaign.
The election preparations showed that the Iranian people tie the
solution of their economic issues to the elections. According to him,
the expectation to solve economic issues is big now too, which was
the ground that the programs of all candidates were of social-economic
direction.
The election turnout was 73%, of which 51 voted reformist Hasan
Rohani. According to Karen Khanlaryan, democracy in Iran has a
national character, though it is a universal value, it is still
adapted to traditional characteristics. In this sense, democracy is
called religious democracy in Iran.
The emigration of Armenian community of Iran is still continuing.
According to the Armenian MP, the emigration is determined by
social-economic issues. Armenians are leaving for Western countries,
including Canada and others.
The Armenian community has already presented its requests to the
president. The first one is the recognition and condemnation of the
Armenian genocide, as well as allocation of offices regarding issues
of national minorities in the executive power.
He says the most important issue for the Armenian community is the
recognition of the Armenian genocide.
