TEHRAN – Presidential candidate Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has said he will start tackling unemployment in underprivileged areas.

“Today economic crisis has afflicted all. Joblessness does not know Kurd, Turk, Baluch, Arab, or Fars,” he said during a trip to Kurdistan province on Tuesday, Mehr reported.

“The first thing I would address would be joblessness,” he said, adding, “We have good potentials among the youth, but some are looking toward the West.”
