The reform approach that has always been chosen by this tribune is the same approach that the whole world is calling for; it is the approach of democracy that does not turn its back on or neglect or marginalize the people. The democracy that does not circumvent or silence the people with force, or looks for conflict between the factions and sects of a society.

It is impossible for a country to abandon reform. The society cannot prevent burning internal sedition and external conflicts if reform is rejected. Moreover, the country will neither experience any development nor enjoy security and stability when reform is rejected and replaced with official repression and terrorism.

Reforming politics brings unity among the people

Power to goodness not evil, to reform not mutilation, to security not fears, to justice not injustice, to virtue not vice. This is for the good of all nations. This is to root out tyrants from earth. It is not to replace justice, mercy, kindness and right, but to support all this.

A reforming politics must be honest and loyal to the people and must respect their opinions and views and work on enhancing the peoples level and uniting its segments. This type of politics brings unity among the people, and unity between the government and the people. It also saves and concentrates efforts in the good of the country and its development and creates a state of mutual security where the two sides guard one another by protecting their security and interests that cannot be separated.
