YEREVAN. - The foreign policy of Iran will not change as long as the
crisis in Syria has not changed, Iranian-Armenian journalist Rubik
Minasyan said during a press conference on Thursday.
In his words, all eight registered presidential candidates in Iran
represent the political course of the country's spiritual leader.
"The candidates' programs contain insignificant differences solely
in the economic part. The programs place the emphasis on economic
reforms. The Iranian national currency devaluated fourfold in the last
1.5 years, which created serious economic difficulties," Minasyan said.
As per the Iranian-Armenian journalist, there are no differences in
the candidates' programs in terms of foreign policy.
"Iran's political course will not change in the case of victory by any
candidate. A significant part of the society considers the country's
foreign political course to be correct. The Iranian people believe
that they, as well as other countries, have a right to have nuclear
energy," Minasyan noted.
In his view, the Iranian leadership is confident that the selected
course is correct, especially taking into account that a significant
progress is registered in the nuclear energy sector.
"If the situation in Syria is maintained, or if [Syrian President]
Bashar al-Assad strengthens his positions, there will be changes in
Iran's foreign policy," Rubik Minasyan stated.
He also noted that although the majority of Iran's population is
dissatisfied with the country's socioeconomic situation, there will
not be disturbances during the presidential campaign season.
