Representatives of religious minorities enjoy equal rights in Iran, Armenian MP in the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Karen Khanlarian told Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA in an interview.
Referring to the rights of religious minorities in Iran, the Armenian MP said, in part, “According to the Iranian Constitution, religious minorities enjoy equal rights. Religious minorities are represented in Majlis by their deputies, who, like other MPs, have equal legislative rights.”
We will remind that Iranian ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Raiesi stated recently during a conference at Matenadaran under the title “Two nations, two cultures and two religions, “The Armenians and Iranians proved during history that the two peoples professing two divine religions, Christianity and Islam, have lived side by side in absolute peace and calm. Currently Iranian-Armenians are represented in Iranian Majlis by two MPs – those from northern and southern Iranian-Armenian communities (Tehran and Isfahan).”
