TEHRAN – The mayor of Tehran, who has been running for presidency two times in the past, has said working in the municipality is no different to him than working in the presidential office.

“We have a duty to work. The place of it is not significant,” Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told reporters on Saturday in answer to the question whether he has any plan to run for president in the 2017 election, ISNA news agency reported.
