TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian member of the Iranian Parliament Karen Khanlari
underlined that religious minorities are conducting a peaceful life
along with the Shiite Muslims in Iran.
Speaking in a ceremony to commemorate the 36th anniversary of victory
of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Khanlari said that Armenian Iranians,
along with their Muslim, Assyrian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian brothers,
have lived in this glorious land for hundreds of years and have made
great sacrifices to protect it.

different religions in Islamic Iran is rooted in the old civilization
of Iran and the Islamic teachings.
Iran’s Constitution has officially recognized Christianity, Judaism and
Zoroastrianism as divine religions alongside Islam and their followers
are having a peaceful life and friendly relationship with each other.
