U.S. has no right to call Syria referendum a 'sham':Iranian Majlis speaker

TEHRAN, March 1 (MNA) – Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said that the United States has no right to call the referendum that the Syrians held on a new constitution on Sunday a 'sham'. Larijani made the remarks in Qom on Wednesday in response to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who recently described the referendum in Syria as a "cynical ploy." Certain Western countries are venting their anger at the Islamic Awakening occurring in the region on Syria, Larijani stated.
