The opening as it read in 2005
Mohammad Khatami Hojjat ol-Eslam Seyyed Mohammad Khatami ( حجتالاسلام سید محمد خاتمی ; born October , 1943 in Ardakan , Yazd province) is the fifth and outgoing President of Iran . He has been president since August 2 , 1997 , and his second term will end on August 2 , 2005 . He is a member of the Central Council of Militant Clerics Society . Khatami will be succeeded by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad . Khatami was elected president on May 23 , 1997 and was re-elected on June 8 , 2001 for a second term. Khatami won largely due to the female and youth vote, who voted for him because he promised to improve the status of women and respond to the demands of the young generation in Iran . Khatami is regarded as Iran's first reformist president, since the focus of his campaign was on the rule of law , democracy and the inclusion of all Iranians in the political decision-making process. He studied there for seven years and completed the courses to the highest level, Ijtihad . After that, he went to Germany to chair the Islamic Centre in Hamburg , where he stayed until the Iranian revolution .1The United Nations proclaimed the year 2001 as the United Nations' Year of Dialogue of Civilizations , as per Khatami's suggestion.2In addition to his mother tongue Persian , he also speaks Arabic , English and German . He is married to Zohreh Sadeghi and has two daughers and a son: Leila (born 1975 ), Narges (born 1981 ), and Emad (born 1989 ). On April 8 , Khatami sat near Iranian-born Israeli President Moshe Katsav during the funeral of Pope John Paul II because of alphabetical order. Later, Katsav claimed that he shook hands and spoke with Khatami. That would make this incident the first political contact between Iran and Israel since diplomatic ties were severed in 1979 . [1] [2] However, after he returned to Iran, the country's state-run media reported that Khatami strongly denied shaking hands and chatting with Katsav.3
