The Iranian Majlis (parliament) has condemned the Saudi proposal for merger with Bahrain, saying the unwise measure will further destabilize the region and multiply its problems.
The Saudi plans to annex Bahrain will extend the Bahraini crisis to Saudi Arabia and push the region toward further unrest, a statement, signed by 190 Iranian lawmakers, read on Monday.
The statement asserted that political force and pressure cannot silence the frustrated Bahraini people who have been holding anti-government demonstrations since mid-February 2011 and calling on the US-backed Al Khalifa family to leave power.
On March 14, 2011, more than 1,000 Saudi troops entered Bahrain to assist the Manama government in suppressing the peaceful popular protests in the Persian Gulf Island.
According to local sources, scores of people have been killed and hundreds have been arrested in the Saudi-backed regime crackdown.
In a report released on April 17, Amnesty International criticized the Bahraini regime for continuing the violation of human rights and the excessive use of force against the anti-regime protesters.
"The authorities are trying to portray the country as being on the road to reform, but we continue to receive reports of torture and use of unnecessary and excessive force against protests. Their reforms have only scratched the surface," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
The Iranian lawmakers concluded by expressing their all-out support for the brave nation of Bahrain as well as the independence and territorial integrity of the country.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly seeking to merge with Bahrain in line with plans to unify the six Arab member states of the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council ([P]GCC).
The council members, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, are expected to meet and discuss closer union among the six countries on Monday.
In December 2011, Saudi King Abdullah called on the council member states to move beyond the stage of cooperation and into the stage of unity in a single entity.
However, some members of the council have expressed concern about Saudi Arabias possible dominance over the other five countries if the [P]GCC becomes unified.
