[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Observers say there is ambiguity in the constitution about the participation of women in presidential elections in Iran.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However, the latest interpretation appears to put an end to the debate.[/size][/font]
