         No One Can Defy Reforms
     
                         
     TEHRAN, March 16--Secretary-general of the reformist Islamic Iran Participation Front said IIPF entered the scene as a political current and next year also belongs to reformers.

Speaking in a press conference in Tehran on Wednesday, Mohammad Reza Khatami noted that no one can defy reforms, IRNA reported.
Noting that reforms imply people’s presence on the political scene, he said presenting reforms to be against people’s demands will not be acceptable.
Khatami also said the Seventh Majlis cannot be repeated because it had many disadvantages.
“Although President Mohammad Khatami and former Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi endeavored to prevent holding Seventh Majlis election in that way, they didn’t succeed,“ he said.
Asked whether he would prioritize freedom over people’s economic conditions, the IIPF chief said this is not important but the government’s main objective should be people’s consensus and the elite should provide the people with solutions for everyday problems.
He stressed that the prerequisite for development is human development that will eventually result in economic and cultural developments.
“The elite consider freedom to be an important issue. Productivity will decline in the absence of freedom,“ he said.
Khatami will be vice president of the presidential aspirant, Mostafa Moin, in the ninth presidential election.

Director of Nejat Society Hamid Dehdar Hosseini said the ex-MKO members fled from Iraq last week, IRNA reported.
He pointed out that Islamic Republic is determined to facilitate the return of defected MKO members.
“Nejat Society is a non-governmental organization and its members are all former MKO members who are making efforts to secure the return of former MKO members to Iran,“ he said.
Hosseini further noted that all MKO members will soon return to Iran.
