In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Before everything I thank you, the nation of Iran, for your warm affections. I pray for all of you. This little time that I am allowed I would like to say a few words. One: I appreciate your care about the voting which was of rare precedence; such a participation of more than fourteen million while a great number left behind on the account of their inability to join as they were inhabitants of remote villages and some in mountainous regions. However, the nation joined in the voting ballots and said its word.
Another thing more than this which is unprecedented: I should rather say in the world it is unprecedented. The calm that surrounded the voting ballots is indeed worthy of admiration. Our nation has established a proof of its mental growth. By this proof they have pushed back those who are still covetous about Iran. I hope the nation will prove its liveliness hereafter. This is not the dread that a person has that who will come and who goes. Thanks to God, the nation is now awakening. To a vigilant nation nothing happens no matter who goes or who comes. Although in some radio stations some things are told. But these matters cannot influence our people.
Our nation today does not depend on anyone except God the Almighty. Another point I want to refer to is my request from all groups and all the various associations, and that is not to retreat because one person «1» is elected to the presidency. The nation has voted for him. But they should assist and help him.
This is your country. You yourself should help it and give aid. O, open minded ones! O, doctors! O, great and big ones! All must extend their hand of brotherhood to each other. All of you are brothers. I pray for you all. May God grant you all success.
