WHO IS A DICTATOR?
BBC: Addressing the parliament, Mr Khatami rejected claims that his two recent bills were aimed at giving him dictatorial powers, saying instead that unelected institutions posed a greater threat to democracy.
"Only dictators fear democracy," Mr Khatami said to the applause of the reformist-dominated parliament.
"If we're going to be concerned about the formation of a dictatorship... those establishments which have the power of violating constitutional law and are not accountable, should be referred to."
