MP Views Iran's Revolution as Role Model for Arab Spring
TEHRAN (FNA)- Arab countries have been inspired by the Iranian nation's Islamic Revolution, a member of the Iranian parliament reiterated on Wednesday.
Addressing a parliament session here in Tehran today, Yaghoub Jadgal pointed to the waves of Islamic awakening in the region, and stated, "This movement and resistance started inside the Iranian nation and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution (in 1979), the Arab countries took our revolution as their paradigm and now their movement has turned into the Islamic awakening."
Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
In Libya, while the euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli on August 22 in a lightning advance, they are still inches away from final victory.
In similar remarks in April, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also underscored the profound and vast influence of Iran's Islamic Revolution on the growing waves of Islamic awakening in the region.
"Thanks to Islam and Islamic Revolution, a popular and overall Islamic awakening has happened in the region today, which will definitely yield its results as it has already yielded (some of) its results in certain points," Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time.
