Iranians in Syria turn out to vote at embassy in Damascus

Damascus (Syria), Jun 28 (EFE/EPA) - The early presidential elections kicked off Friday in Iran without a clear favorite and amid citizen indifference to the poor economic situation and disenchantment with the Islamic Republic.

Some 58,000 polling stations opened their doors at 08:00 local time (4:30 GMT) and are scheduled to close at 6:00 pm (14.30 pm GMT) across the country, where more than 61 million people are called to the polls, Fars news agency reported.
