I want to say thank you and damet garm for bringing this to my attention brother. I got this article about him from
http://www.china.org.cn/world/Off_the_Wire/2016-02/24/content_37864194.htm Here is what they had to say about him.
Pezeshkian (born in September 1954) is an Iranian politician and a member of Iraniaian parliament presently. Pezeshkian was Minister of Health between 2001 and 2005 in the cabinet of former president Mohammad Khatami. He was also the chancellor of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences for seven years. He is a heart surgeon and an academic member of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences at the present time. He is elected as one of Iranian parliament members from Tabriz in 2008 election. He had a speech on condemnation of violence against the alleged fraud in Iranian presidential election in June 2009 in Iran parliament. In 2010, he failed in his bid to become deputy speaker of parliament. He is also a member of Iran-Turkey Friendship society. For the upcoming Majlis elections, Pezeshkian's name is also included the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists.
What is not to like about a heart surgeon? At least we know he has brains. I am interested in the Iran elections but I always keep my eye on Tabriz. Also, I would like to say for those of us who are living in the west, it is not fair for us to criticize Iranians voting in the election. They are doing the best with what they got and in many cases it is picking best of the bad. Anyways thank you for bringing that to my attention, my Azeri comrade.
