President: Iran's present challenge, realization of republicanism, Islamism

'Our challenge is to maintain progress, spirituality, freedom and national sovereignty. In short, our challenge is to materialize complete republicanism and Islamism,” President Rouhani said while addressing a huge number of people at Tehran's Azadi Square.

Millions of Iranians held rallies throughout the country on Friday to mark the 38th victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, according to IRNA.

The President stressed that 38 years after the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, its aspirations and ideas are still alive as they are being followed by the people.
