Iran calls for establishment of Islamic parliament
KAMPALA, Jan. 31 (MNA) -- Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has called for the establishment of an Islamic parliament.
The establishment of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union is the first step by Muslim nations that paves the way for the establishment of an Islamic parliament, Larijani told delegates at the sixth summit of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Kampala, Uganda on Saturday.
Over fifty years ago, European countries established the European Parliament and the predecessor of the European Union, which was a major step for the development of Europe after long wars, he stated.
In comparison with European countries at that time, Muslim countries have greater potential to increase their unity, the Iranian parliament speaker noted.
