Rouhani: Iranians voted in favor of economic development at elections
President Hassan Rouhani said that people of Iran voiced their
wishes by attending the recent round of elections for parliament
and the Assembly of Experts in the country.
Addressing a gathering of people in the northwestern city of
Orumiyeh, President Rouhani said that people voted in favor of the
improvement of economic situation in the country, state-run TV
IRINN reported.
Saying that 62 percent of eligible voters attended the recent poles
in the country, he added that people urged for unity among
officials of the Islamic Republic.
President further added that people said "no to extremism" through
the elections.
People are not in the favor of creating gaps between Iran and the
rest of the world, Rouhani added.
The 290-member parliament was inaugurated May 29 with the
participation of 265 MPs and a number of senior officials of the
Islamic Republic.
Earlier in late February Iranians voted in two crucial elections
for parliament and the Assembly of Experts as the country looks to
a post-sanction period to rebuild its economy and shape its
relations with the outside world.
