c86ff50355afe13b5bdf32be036f7c1d_LReferring to the nation’s epic created in 11th presidential election, Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said in Tehran on Thursday that the Iranian nation’s solidarity today is stronger than anytime before.

According to IRNA, he said that the Iranian nation created and epic, but preserving it is tough, adding, “Preserving the Islamic Revolution was a very tough job, but in the course of the years after the victory of the revolution many things happened; many people were victimized due to terrorist acts, explosions, and the Iraqi imposed war, and these were all for preserving the revolution.”
Meanwhile, Hashemi Rafsanjani added, “The Egyptians are now confronting both despotism and extremism. One day they were burnt by the despots and the other day by the extremists. And we are also witnesses to return of Tunisia to its former conditions, as well.”
He said that the situation in Syria, too, is very grave today, adding, “In that country the people are subjected to chemical bombardment, such as the chemical bombardment in Iran during the (Iraqi) imposed war, and many people have got killed.”
He said that the Syrian nation is the only victims of these events, adding, “Look at Iraq that is still experiencing dozens of bomb explosions ten years after the war.”
