Beglarian was elected in March 2008 as the representative of Iran's Christian Armenian minority for southern Iran. Beglarian won the majority of the received votes in the parliamentary election held nationwide on March 14, the headquarters said in a statement.
As Iran's Christian Armenian minority consists of two groups including Armenians of Tehran and northern parts of Iran as well as those of the southern parts of the country, two elections take place for both regions, as well as due to the fact that Christian Armenians have two seats at Iran's 290-seat parliament while other religious minorities (Zoroastrians, Jews and Assyrians) have one representative at the county's legislative body.
