part of the Iranian regime elite, [1] announced his candidacy for the upcoming Iranian presidential
election set for June 2013. He has promised that if elected he will restore Iranian sovereignty over the
territories of Tajikistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, which it lost under the 1828 Treaty of Turkmenchay
with Russia.
It should be noted that already in 2010, Ayatollah Kharrazi had outlined his vision to restore these
