Bulgaria: Bulgaria's Envoy to Iraq: Iran Protests Result of Internal Processes A stream of videos posted on social networking Web sites depicted scenes of chaos during the protests in Iran.

Only a person who does not know Iran could think that protests of such scale and organized in such a way could be incited from the outside, Bulgaria's ambassador to Iraq Valeri Ratchev said in an exclusive interview for Novinite.com.

"There might be some sort of support from abroad but that could never lead to such a scale, systematic efforts, and organization. No, the Iranian society is just a very different society despite its religious and out clout," the ambassador said.

He pointed out that the events in Iran have an extremely big importance about what is going and will be going on in Iraq.

"The two states are extremely related, and I think that the way the situation in Iran unfolds will have a great influence on certain processes in Iraq," Ratchev said.

According to him the Iranians themselves are reconsidering the Islamic Revolution that was supported 30 years ago by the fathers of today's youngsters.

"They are just rethinking what they have done, and at least the ones who are protesting say, "No, this is not the life that we want; we want another type of government, another society, and another role for our nation in the world."
