Iranian Drug Dealers Arrested in Armenia

Re: Iranian Drug Dealers Arrested in Armenia

My guess is Vor z zakone element (Armenia mobsters- with overseers in Russia- sometimes the same ones involved in the forced prostitution of Armenian girls in Dubai).

Real Zakone's do not engage in prostitution nor even drug smugling. It is against their code.

Very few left who honor the code. Regardless, if the code is not honored, one is not a real Zakone, hence why I said real Zakone's would not dabble in drug smuggling or prostitution. Self declared Zakones most likely do engage in the drug and sex trade.

Tajiks are a subgroup of Iranian people. Their language is pretty much like a dialect of Farsi. The Tajik President event old everybody to add Iranian suffixes to their last names and remove the Russian -ov.

Culturally Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan are all fundamentally Indo-Aryan nations. As is the west half of Pakistan. Usbekistan is also intresting as Turko-Persian culture is closer to the Turks original Hunnic culture.

However the Tajik President is off the mark though and language is not the same as ethnicity. Since Tajiks and Uzbeks are "ethnically" closely related to the Turks.

Not all Iranics where from Parthia either and Slavic people are at least in part descended from northern Iranic tribes, such as the Sarmats, Alans and Scythians. Hence many Northern Indian peoples today are distantly related to Slavic peoples.

Sintashta culture is something of a Indo-Iranic urheimat.

The people of the Sintashta culture are thought to have spoken Proto-Indo-Iranian, the ancestor of the Indo-Iranian language family.

This identification is based primarily on similarities between sections of the Rig Veda, an Indian religious text which includes ancient Indo-Iranian hymns recorded in Vedic Sanskrit, with the funerary rituals of the Sintashta culture as revealed by archaeology. However, due to its origin as a creole of different tribes in the Ural region, it is probably inaccurate to ascribe the Sintashta culture exclusively Indo-Iranian ethnicity.

Tajiks are not a turkic peoples. Do they have trace amounts, yes it is hard not to in that neighborhood, but they are indeed a Iranic peoples, and they do speak a dialect of Farsi. The only major difference is that they have many Russian loanwords and use the Cyrillic alphabet while the Iranians use Arabic script.

As for Slavs being descended partly from northern Iranic groups, that is a theory, and I do not think one which currently holds much weight.

they've started to slowly replace the cyrillic with arabic I believe. or at least they want to. but they also use latin to, so it's all over the place.

Cyrillic is there to stay, I think, depending on various political factors they may use either the Latin or Arabic script, but just as in the neighboring countries, the Cyrillic alphabet has been in place for over 70 years and it will be hard to replace it overnight.

I disagree, Balto-Slavic peoples do have eastern ties. Tajiks are Eastern Indo-Iranic people and I'd say that they have quite a lot of Turkic admixture. Tajiks may well have 64% R1a, but then so do Kyrgyz 63% (Scythians). When you admix Indo-Iranic together with Mongol like that you get Hunnic. So I suppose technically Kyrgyz's at least at this point are really Hunnic.

Bengal Brahmins Haplogroup R1a is 72% and nearly all Indo-Aryan Northern Indians are R1a. Even DNA from the Tokharians Tarim Mummies are R1a; so it's a very Indo-Iranic marker.

In ancient times the northern fertile crescent was far more "Western Asian", than the more Afroasiatic south and Parthia was inhabited by pastoralists. So as one might expect many Western Asians are to some degree Persianized Semites.

Arabic is not a very good script and you would think that they would adopt the Persians.
