“The formation of the national unity government is the best method for putting an end to animosities in Yemen and Syria,” Larijani said during the meeting.

He pointed to long-term wars in Syria and Yemen, and said, “One of the reasons for all these insecurity in the region is that some countries suppose the solution to removal of problems in these countries is military invasion while we believe that the political solution through establishment of democracy and formation of a national unity government is the best method for putting an end to these hostilities, IRNA reported.

He, meantime, said that Iran is a country where the highest-ranking official to president and Majlis deputies are elected by people which is one of positive points of our constitution.

“One of the problems of some regional countries is evading democracy and negligence towards its positive role in stability and strength of the countries,” Majlis speaker said.

Larijani reiterated that according to Iran’s constitution, no country can dissolve the parliament and Majlis has the power to impeach the ministers and even the president as they give them vote of confidence.
