Deciding Own Destiny - Iran - Propaganda

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Iranian nation is the true manifestation of the people’s right to decide their own destiny.
In a meeting with the press in Tehran on Sunday he said the fact that over 84 percent of the eligible voters took part in the presidential elections on Friday dealt a severe blow to the foundations of the “oppressive system now ruling the world“, IRNA reported.
Stressing that Iranians want sustainable peace and security based on respect and justice, he said that Iran has often demonstrated that it wants dialogue (with the West) on an equal and fair basis and never allows others to make decisions on its behalf.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Sunday said Friday’s presidential election was a divine miracle.
“The vigilant, far-sighted and alert Iranian nation in this great epic showed that they are still attached to the direction and values recommended by Imam Khomeini and seek progress and prosperity through his path,“ iribnews quoted him as saying in a meeting with the public to commemorate the birth anniversary of Lady Fatemeh (AS), the esteemed daughter of Prophet Muhammad

In the meeting which was held on Sunday afternoon, Mir Hussein Mousavi while presenting a report, explained his views on the elections process.

Stressing on the necessity of calmness and dignity, the IRI Leader said:" In the previous rounds of elections, some people and candidates had some issues and pursued them through the Constitutional Guardians Council as the legal authority for looking into their complaints and of course in this round too, issues should be pursued through the legal way."

Referring to Mousavi's letter to the Constitutional Guardian Council, he added: "We have ordered the Council to look precisely into the letter."

Pointing to the enemies' provocations and some behind-the-scene plots to make the street riots, the Leader told Mr. Mousavi:" You are different from such people and you should pursue issues with dignity and calmness."

Praising the people's unprecedented participation in the June 12th elections, Ayatollah Khamenei added:" By God's help, the elections were held with good precision, soundness and calmness.

The IR Leader advised Mousavi pursue the issues through legal ways.
