Orumiyeh, June 12, IRNA - Priest of the Eastern Assyrian Church of Urmia in northwestern Iranian province of West Azarbaijan, Dariyavush Azizian, says that participation in the upcoming election is a symbol of solidarity and coherence in the country.
Speaking to IRNA on Saturday, Azizian said participation in the election is an important religious duty.
Difference in viewpoints should not hinder participation in the election, the priest noted.
