Mohsen Parviz: Public Presence in Tehran and Qom Streets is a Referendum for the Islamic Republic
People's presence in the streets of Tehran and Qom is a referendum for the Islamic Republic, said Mohsen Parvaiz, head of the board of directors of the Pen Association, in a special television program titled "Mr. Martyr of Iran" on IRNA: In my opinion, these days represent a referendum for the Islamic Republic, meaning that the crowds who came to see off the martyred leader at the prayer ground and then to the streets of Tehran and Qom are answering those who sometimes might have raised questions about the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic. The presence of people at the prayer ground and in the streets of Tehran and Qom is a symbol of the unity and solidarity of Iranians. People from various sectors are present in this ceremony. An impatient and eager crowd who were all deeply saddened came to participate in the prayer ceremony for Mr. Martyr of Iran.
