Respecting issues in the region and holding belief in negotiations, the Islamic Republic of Iran follows up Egypts affairs and we hope that democracy will be established in Egypt through self-restraint and accomplishment of all stages of democracy, and the allegations raised about Iran in this regard are not true, Afkham said during a weekly press briefing here in Tehran on Tuesday.
