Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug.3 / Trend N. Umid /

Iran's outgoing president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed his assets in a letter addressed to Iran's Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani, Fars news agency reported.

In his letter he remarked that he has renewed his old house to four 100- square meters houses which was realized with the help of his family and bank credits.

According to the report, the land area and infrastructure of the old house before renovation hit 175 and 130 square meters respectively.

The Iranian constitution stipulates that the head of the judiciary must examine the assets of top officials including the supreme leader, cabinet ministers and their immediate families to ensure that no one has become richer through illegal means while in office.

It should be noted that the inauguration ceremony of Iran's newly elected president Hassan Rouhani will take place on August 4. He will meet with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei today.

Rouhani will participate in a ceremony known as tanfiz (validity), during which the Supreme Leader formally appoints the Iranian president.

Hassan Rouhani won the June 14 presidential elections in Iran, gathering over 50 percent of votes, securing his place as the next president of Iran.
