Iran: Mejlis elections are over
The elections for the Mejlis drew to an end in Iran.
According to unofficial data, the elections saw a turnout of more than 64 percent compared to the previous 55.4 percent.
The official Tehran says the record-setting number of voters goes to show that Iranians trust the regime in the production of nuclear weapons for peaceful purposes and its confrontation with the West, reports ITAR-TASS.
According to the source, it was predicted that the Conservatives would win since the oppositionist reformists led by former president Mohammed Hatami had refused to participate in the elections.
UK Foreign Minister William Hage has said the Iranian elections can't reflect the real image of the people since they were held in an "atmosphere of horror".
According to him, the elections were more of a way of testing the people's loyalty to the regime than an opportunity for them to freely express their will.
Russia has called on the international community to wait and "not get ahead of everything" so that passions don't flare.
