The Supreme Assembly of the Republic of Tajikistan (Tajik: Маҷлиси Олии Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон, Russian: Высшее собрание (Маджлиси Оли) Республики Таджикистан), also known simply as the Majlisi Oli, is the parliament of Tajikistan.

Chambers

It has two chambers:

The bicameral legislature was introduced in the September 1999 constitution. Prior to that, Tajikistan had a unicameral legislature called Supreme Assembly from 1995, and a unicameral Supreme Soviet before 1995.

Building

From 1991, the Majlisi Oli was headquartered in the former Supreme Soviet building on Dousti Square. Since 2024, it is headquartered in the new parliament palace on Rudaki Avenue. The Tajik-styled and Chinese-aided building, covering an area of 43.750 square meters, features a white marble facade and a 70 meters high dome. It includes a great assembly hall with 1.500 seats, upper and lower chamber halls with 250 seats each, a press conference hall with 350 seats and many other rooms.[6]
