Iran’s Rouhani calls for a change in the language of the revolution

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani yesterday stressed on the need to change the language of the revolution.

“Iran’s revolution is an ethical, peaceful and violence-free revolution,” he said while addressing a large gathering of people in Tehran to mark the 37th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.

“A true fundamentalist, true reformist or true moderate are all revolutionary. And a revolutionary person is one who believes in tolerance and resilience,” the president added.

“Iran’s revolution does not belong to a special party; rather it belongs to the great Iranian nation and all the world’s freedom lovers.”

Remarking on the elections for the Shura Council and the Assembly of Experts scheduled for end of February, Rouhani saidL “We are on the threshold of very important elections that will determine our future, votes on 26 February will be given to hope and law.”
