TEHRAN – The Young Developer Society’s chief has assimilated the leftist and rightist factions in the country “as two wings of a bird” which cannot perform alone.

These “wings receive orders from one brain” and pursue a joint objective, Hassan Bayadi, the Young Developer Society’s chief, told ISNA in an interview posted on its website on Sunday.
He said that a bird cannot move without one of its wings.
Perhaps these wings may use different methods to achieve their goal but again their ultimate objective is the same, he added.
He went on to say that no government can be run by only one faction, unless it is a dictatorial regime.
Bayadi also said these well-known factions must not be considered as “hostile” and they can be called leftist or rightist, and principalist or reformist.
For example, he said whenever one of the hands is out of work the other does not cut it off, but tries to handle its responsibilities, adding that the two parties in the country should have an interaction.
The member of the Tehran City Council also suggested those political groups, which act within the constitutional framework, are entitled to use the national media to air their views.
Nowhere in the Constitution is mentioned that the national television must be used only by one special party, but it is emphasized that the media belongs to the public and that it must serve national unity and interests
