If there is a disagreement with regards to Iran's cultural, social, and foreign policy, a referendum can be held, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at a meeting with youth and students, Trend reports referring to IRNA.

According to Rouhani, this issue is covered in Article 59 of the Iranian Constitution. He added that, according to this Article MPs of the Iranian Parliament can decide for an issue to be put to a referendum.

"Let no one say that they participate in the voting and give their votes but the problems are not solved. It is true, that problems are not completely resolved, but we can take a new action at every step. It is necessary to make use of the potential of the Constitution," he said.
