Zarif's video message provokes comments from Iranians
The following video was posted on Youtube by Javad Zarif, Iran's Foreign Minister a few days before the final round of nuclear talks in Geneva. Zarif calmly and logically talks about a nation's right for "dignity" and self determination. The posting on Zarif's popular facebook page so far has received nearly 50,000 Likes and provoked nearly 7000 interesting comments from Iranians inside Iran. Some support Zarif's statements but many ask why Iranians CAN'T even access Youtube where Zarif posted the video! and how can they watch his video if Youtube is blocked in Iran. Others ask why the government does not release Mousavi, Karrubi and other reformists from prisons to show Iranian's right of self determination. Another interesting comment: "When did the government take a poll or a referendum to know our views and self-determination about nuclear program?"
