A polling station will be opened in Armenia on the threshold of the
presidential election in Iran scheduled for June 14, Iranian Ambassador
to Armenia Mohammad Raiesi told journalists on Tuesday.
He noted that election frauds entail criminal responsibility in Iran.
Eight candidates intended to run for Iran’s presidency this year,
but one of them, Mohammad Reza Aref, has withdrawn his candidacy.
Iran’s incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cannot run for the
third term.
In response to Tert.am question about international monitoring of
the presidential election in Iran, Ambassador Mohammad Raiesi said
that, although not monitored at the international level, the Iranian
elections will receive wide media coverage. Armenian journalists can
follow the election process as well.
