[R-G] 'Rafsanjani, Mousavi Vow Support to End Unrest'

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

The only freedom that men like Rafsanjani and Mousavi care about is
investor freedom, so Iranian reformers had no business lining up
behind them against the will of the poorer two thirds of Iran, but all
too many did.  That is anti-democratic.  This kind of incoherent
anti-democratic coalition happens in every country where economic
neoliberals succeed in conning politico-social-cultural liberals and
occasionally some foolish leftists into backing them, from Nepal to
Venezuela, Thailand to Yugoslavia, Moldova to the OPTs.  -- Yoshie

Head of Iran's Expediency Council, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani will
support efforts to end the post-election tension in the country, an
Iranian lawmaker says.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Head of Iran's Parliamentary Committee on
National Security and Foreign Policy told Fars news agency that the
committee's governing board has held a meeting with Rafsanjani and
Mir-Hossein Mousavi, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's main rival in the
elections on Wednesday.

Boroujerdi termed the parliamentary delegation's talks with Rafsanjani
as "constructive".

"The lawmakers asked Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani to help solve the
problems and he vowed support and we hope that we would witness
practical measures to be taken to end the current situation soon," he
added.

Boroujerdi also noted that the lawmakers have discussed the
post-election developments with Mousavi.

"During the meeting, the governing board of the committee explained
their expectations from Mr. Mousavi and he voiced his interest to help
in solving the issues."

Boroujerdi stated that the talks between Mousavi and Iranian lawmakers
will continue.
