Yes you can, but crucially your parents will need to demonstrate that they have self-sufficiency and strong ties to their home country in order to convince the ECO that they won't overstay in the UK.

Visitor visas for parents have become more difficult to obtain since the route to settlement for adult dependants was virtually closed in July 2012.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
