Azerbaijan, Baku, Jun.29/ Trend F.Karimov/
Iranian president-elect Hassan Rohani says he will establish foreign policy based on moderation and respect toward the world.
In a televised speech broadcasted live on the IRINN Network Rohani said that the enemy wanted to show a false picture of Iran, but Iran should thwart its plot through collaboration and confidence building with other nations.
"Iran can play a decisive role in this historic era. Iran is the greatest power in the region and should play its role with moderation. The country has gained successes and failures in the past. We should analyze them and build the future", Rohani said..
Rohani won 50.7 percent of the vote to secure an outright victory. In the Iranian system, if no presidential candidate receives 50 percent of the vote, the two top candidates must face off in a run-off election.
Nearly 50.5 million Iranians, including more than 1.6 million first-time voters, were eligible to participate in the presidential election. The Interior Ministry put the voter turnout at 72.7 percent.
Rohani currently represents the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in the Supreme National Security Council and is also a member of the Expediency Council and the Assembly of Experts. He is also the director of the Expediency Council's Center for Strategic Research.
