Iranian Parliamentary Delegation to Visit Germany Next Month
A parliamentary delegation is planned to travel to Germany on June 25
to take part in the conference, the Assyrians' representative in the
Iranian parliament, Yonathan Betkolia, said in an interview with the
Tasnim News Agency.
He said that the delegation is comprised of
Gholam Reza Mesbahi Moqaddam, Karen Khanlari, Siamak Moreh Sedgh and
probably another MP representing Iranian religious minorities.
The
conference is held every year in Germany, Betkolia said, adding that it
is aimed at "creating interaction between the followers of divine
religions as well as promoting peace and prosperity for humanity at a
global level."
Under the Constitution, the recognized religious
minorities of Iran have the right to elect parliamentary representatives
of their own, while they can vote for Muslim candidates as well.
Five
seats of the country's parliament are reserved for religious
minorities. There is one Zoroastrian, one Jewish and three Christian
lawmakers in the Iranian parliament.
