Origin of name
In the Mongolian Empire, Kurultai was the name given to the assembly of princes at which the tribal leaders were appointed and the campaigns planned. For example, in 1206 Genghis Khan was elected Great Khan of the Mongols on a Kurultai . Several Mongolian states or member states designate their parliaments in the Mongolian tradition with the word Chural, which is based on the word Kurultai. For example, the parliament of Mongolia and the parliament of Buryatia are called Great State Chural and Buryat People 's Chural, respectively . Due to the titular nation of the Kalmyks , who are also a Mongolian people, the name Chural was chosen as the name of the parliament of Kalmykia.
