Tehran, YJC. Haqshenas says that Rouhani has not been able to use Reformists in his cabinet as he would have liked to.
National Trust Party central
council member and prominent Reform activist Mohammadjavad Haqshenas said in
answer to the question if Reformists’ right has been paid in Rouhani's designate
cabinet "I believe that Mr. Rouhani could make more use of Reformists’ power
and popularity. But some considerations, of which we are all aware, have kept
him from doing so.”
Haqshenas added "Meanwhile as
we saw, the Reform elders did not demand a share either, and were rather
supportive.”
Haqshenas who holds a
doctorate degree in international relations then provided comments on the
selection of Zarif as the Minister of Foreign Affairs "Zarif is the only person
in the last thirty years to have been designated the position with educations
in international relations which relates to his responsibilities.”
"It is a pity that no Foreign
Minister so far has had educations relevant to foreign affairs. Rather, they
have had educations in medical laboratory, pediatrics, nuclear energy,
pedagogy, and architecture,” he added.
Haqshenas expected that the
choice of Zarif as the Minister of Foreign Affairs will have a positive global
feedback.
