TEHRAN – A female principlist activist, Maryam Behrouzi, has said that the moderate reformist groups should be recognized and be allowed to come back to the country’s political scene.

“We should accept that the pro-reform political groups exist. If these political groups are logically and properly organized, they can participate in the next elections,” Behrouzi told the ISNA news agency in an interview published on Wednesday.
“I am sure that the reformist groups will return to the country’s political scene with new formations in the future, because there are many moderate and logical pro-reform activists around the country,” she noted.
On a proposed alliance between reformists and principlists who are critical of the administration, she said formation of such an alliance is “unlikely”.
Behrouzi added the future belongs to the moderate principlists.
