Re: Iranian-Armenian relations
I can't take the opportunity away, however, I will encourage all Armenians to strengthen their ties with Armenia, and if able to move back there. And yes, all Armenians regardless of where they live should have their strongest allegiance to Armenia, because that is the country of the Armenian people. Parskahyes should live in Iran with respect to the country they live in, but their ultimate loyalty should not be to Iran or Iranians, but to Armenia and Armenian people. And this goes also for all Diasporan Armenians, not just Parskahyes.
The Diaspora is unpredictable, assimilation may happen to some, and so on. Armenia is the place where this danger doesn't exist and where Armenian society can exist unrestricted. Where our national character can be sustained and live through the people.
The Last Point: I think Armenians need to discuss among themselves whether it is right for individuals like Mos, and others like him, to take the opportunity of living in Iran away from Armenians there by creating and encouraging an environment that makes Iranians not want Armenians to be in Iran? And if it isn't, what are they doing about it?
