The cooperation and synergy of the government officials with one another will bring about a rosy and bright future for the people of the country, the Iranian-Armenian legislators emphasized.
Ara Shaverdian representative of the Armenian-Christian in Tehran and Mansourian representative of Armenian-Christan in Isfahan and south Iran in the Iranian Parliament congratulated Masoud Pezeshkian as the 9th president of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Iranian-Armenian community wished evermore success and blessings for the Iranian government and people.
Pezeshkian received more than 16 million votes against former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili with more than 13 million out of over 30 million votes cast, electoral authorities said.
"By gaining a majority of the votes cast on Friday, Pezeshkian has become Iran's next president," the interior ministry said.
The runoff on Friday followed a June 28 ballot in a snap election to find a successor to President Ebrahim Raeisi who lost his life with his foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and others in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran.
Pezeshkian originally ran against a field of five candidates last week, winning the largest number of votes but falling short of a majority which sent him and Jalili to a second round.
