Jordan's King Abdullah II announced about dissolving the parliament and forming a new Cabinet of Ministers on Tuesday, CNN Turk TV channel.

The massive antigovernmental demonstrations have been recently held in Jordan. The demonstrators call for resigning current Prime Minister.

The most massive anti-governmental protests took place in Egypt and some other Arab countries over the last decade. Thousands of people in different cities all over the country went into the streets calling for resigning President Hosni Mubarak and dissolving the parliament. Fearing a Tunisian scenario, Egyptian authorities dispersed the protesters with tear gas. Following two days of riots over 1,000 demonstrators were arrested. Roughly 150 people died, more than 400 people were injured during the riots. The protesters do not conceal that the so-called "Jasmine" revolution in Tunisia was the example for them. It occurred on January 14. A new government was formed. President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was forced to leave the country.
