Iran's Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution has appointed poet Ali Moallem Damghani to the position of President of the Academy of Arts.
The Council named Moallem on Tuesday to replace defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted Secretary and Spokesman of the Council, Mohammad Reza Mokhber Dezfouli, as saying.
Mousavi had headed Iran's Academy of Arts since its establishment in 1998.
The state-funded Academy of Arts was established for the purposes of safeguarding Iran's Islamic and national heritage and art, establishing policies and proposing strategies, accessing the latest findings and innovations and confronting the threats of invasive cultures.
