Iran’s ex-President Khatami endorses Rouhani for re-election
2017-05-15
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iran’s ex-president Mohammad Khatami on Sunday endorsed President Hassan Rouhani in a video message, calling on voters to give him another term in this week’s election.

"Mr Rouhani’s government has been a successful one, despite all the limitations, problems and the great expectations," he said in the video posted on social media.

"We should all go and vote for Rouhani, for freedom in thought, logic in dialogue, law in action, securing the rights of citizens and enforcing social and economic justice."

Khatami praised the government for taming rampant inflation of above 40 percent in 2013 to below 9.5 percent and the "steps" taken against stagnation.
