    The Chairperson for the Delegation of Relations with Iran in the
    European Parliament Angelika Beer conferred with several religious
    minorities MPs here on Sunday.

    In the meeting, Robert Beglarian, the MP representing southern
    Iran's Armenians pointed to the two articles in Iran's Constitution
    (13 and 84), saying that five religious minorities MPs are active in
    the Majlis.

    Religious minorities in Iran enjoy religious and social freedom and
    participate in social and economic activities, he added.

    Assyrian and Chaldenian MP Younaten Bet-Kolia referred to the several
    positive judicial developments regarding minorities, saying they are
    representing the society as a whole and minorities enjoy freedom,
    security and welfare.

    Other religious minorities MPs Mouris Mo'tamed and Kourosh Niknam,
    also outlined the proper co-existence between Muslims and minorities.


    The representatives expressed dissatisfaction over the issuance of
    several resolutions in the European Parliament (EP) against Iran,
    calling on officials to adopt serious measures to pursue the case of
    members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

    Angelika Beer, for her part expressed gratitude over her negotiations
    with Iran's parliamentary and political officials, adding that the
    EP assesses MKO as a terrorist group.
