BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 21. Indifference to
the sensitive segments of society is considered one of the main
factors behind the emergence of discontent, Iranian President
Masoud Pezeshkian said in Tehran today after listening to the
report of Iranian Intelligence Minister Seyyed Ismail Khatib on the
protests in Iran, Trend reports.
According to him, if all institutions and bodies of the country
neglect the problems and demands of the sensitive segments, it is
no longer possible to expect that these segments won't commit
violence nor move away from power.
Pezeshkian stated that in addition to taking steps within the
framework of the law, satisfying citizens should be strictly
monitored. All relevant institutions and responsible persons in
Iran should give correct, logical, and satisfactory answers to
citizens.
The Iranian president emphasized that it is imperative for every
accountable individual within any governmental framework to foster
an environment conducive to mutual comprehension via collaboration,
strategic alignment, open dialogue, and empathetic
understanding.
At the meeting, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi
noted the positive and constructive role of neighboring countries
as an effective step towards strengthening stability in the region
in connection with the recent events in Iran.
The protests, which erupted in late December, were primarily
triggered by the sharp depreciation of the national currency,
escalating inflation, and various other economic hardships. While
casualty reports have been circulating, the exact figures remain
undisclosed.
