Iranian-Armenian relations

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

diasporan communities have disappeared throughout the centuries, only in Armenia has there been continuity

You have any idea how much money flows from the diaspora to Armenia? Who do you think those 2 million Armenians in Russia are supporting? Or the half a million in USA? The amount of remittances that flow to Armenia from Diaspora are huge, almost every family in Armenia has a family member abroad, most of times supporting them. The diaspora is essential for Armenia's survival, who do you think was sending money, weapons, and soldiers to Armenia during Karabakh War? Who do you think has invested million in Yerevan and other projects such as Airport? Speak carefully next time and be mindful of the amount of help Diaspora has brought and continues bringing to Armenia.

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

If you didn't make poor choices; If you learned from past mistakes; If you didn't alienate allies; If you rejected policies that cause the dispersion of Armenians to all corners of the globe and the exploitation of your people; If you didn't embrace a Soviet ideology that banned the Armenian Church; If you didn't constantly waste your time arguing here and devoted your time to supporting Armenians with your time and resources; and if you dropped your self righteous attitude ... then you wouldn't have tell everyone about heroic exploits and sacrifices because you would have had fewer problems to contend with in the first place.

This is where your short-sided machismo got you (not to mention the lack of protection from the AG):



I am proud to say that the Armenian church has been in longer continuous existence in Iran than Armenia ... think about it.

We do what ever we like because we are free to do aka it's non of your business what we do or don't do. Armenia will never belong to Iran no matter how much anti-Armenian BS you post here. Because that's the only thing that you are posting here anti-Armenian BS nothing that contributes to this forum or the relationship between our people.

Not today, but tomorrow? (دشمن امروز نمی باشد.... اما فردا؟)

Not likely….in fact these relations are improving dramatically (bring back the Silk Road)and people like you who are out to create tension between Iran and Armenia are helping the Turkish cause.

Like I said: Iran has 1.65 million square km of land and 80 million people (within our boundaries); Iran is one of the oldest civilizations in continuous existence (like China); This should give you sense of whether we know our enemies or not.

You don’t represent Iran nor the majority of Iranians views.

First off the Armenian Church still operated during Soviet Times, it was just under bigger pressure because of the Soviet rule. Second, our becoming part of Soviet Union did wonders for us in terms of our development both of our country and of our culture. During Soviet Time, Armenia was the Silicon Valley - the technological golden point of the Soviet Union. Our economy was strong and the 100 years or so under Soviet Union was like a mini-golden age for us. Yerevan grew during this time from a village to the cultural capital of Armenians. And yes the Russians who brought this to us, also saved us from being consumed by the Turks. Tell me were the Iranians also during this time fighting along side Armenians defending us from the Turks?

Turkey-Iran ties

Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan strengthen ties
Tehran Times Political Desk

TEHRAN - The two-day Iran-Turkey-Azerbaijan trilateral forum, which was attended by the foreign ministers of the three countries, concluded in Urmia, West Azerbaijan Province on Sunday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi held separate talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov on the sidelines of the meeting on Sunday.

Salehi and Mammadyarov stated that providing customs facilities, increasing the volume of trade between Iran and Azerbaijan, and expanding cooperation in various areas must be put on the agenda.

They also emphasized the necessity of implementing the agreements signed by the two countries.

Mammadyarov also extended an invitation to Salehi to visit Azerbaijan.

In another meeting, Salehi and Davutoglu explored ways to increase the volume of trade between Tehran and Ankara.

Salehi stated that Iran and Turkey have good cooperation in the regional and international arenas and called for closer bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

Davutoglu said that the trilateral meeting of Iranian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani foreign ministers paved the way for the expansion of regional cooperation.

And Turkey is keen to increase cooperation with Iran, particularly in economic interactions and the area of transportation, he added.

Iran, Turkey open new border crossing

Iran and Turkey opened a new border crossing during a ceremony held in Urmia on Saturday.

The Razi-Kapikoy border crossing is the third border crossing between Iran and Turkey, connecting Iran’s West Azerbaijan Province and Turkey’s Van Province.

Salehi, Davutoglu, and Mammadyarov attended the opening ceremony, which was held on the sidelines of their trilateral meeting.

The Turkish foreign minister delivered a speech during the ceremony, in which he said that the opening of the third border crossing between Iran and Turkey will mark a turning point in the relations between the two countries.

“Today (Saturday) the border crossing will be opened for the traffic of passengers and light vehicles, and will be ready for the passage of heavy vehicles on September 11,” Davutoglu stated.

Strengthening ties with neighboring states in all areas has been a foreign policy priority of Turkey over the past eight years, he added.

Davutoglu also stated that the volume of trade between Iran and Turkey is currently $10 billion and will reach $30 billion in the near future given the fact that a new border crossing has been opened between the two countries.

The Iranian foreign minister also delivered a speech at the ceremony, in which he said that the inauguration of the Razi-Kapikoy border crossing will help increase cooperation between Iran and Turkey.

Tehran and Ankara should make every effort to strengthen their relations, Salehi added.

... like you who are out to create tension between Iran and Armenia are helping the Turkish cause. ... You don’t represent Iran nor the majority of Iranians views. ... ghalat kardi….toghmato mikeshim.

Iranians would be unified with my position in condemning a middle-aged loser that that encourages dumb Armenian kids to spit on Iranian women; threaten tourists; laugh at peoples' religious clothing; and harass them.

You Sir will be welcomed with flowers in Iran, right? You are in no position to make these types of threats: "ghalat kardi….toghmato mikeshim" and Iran doesn't need or want people like you within its borders. Enjoy your life in the diaspora.

They saw we were serious and ran away like little rabbits. ....

You got the wrong guy there, I would never encourage that, but if any foreigner gets out of line or disrespects Armenian culture while in Armenia needs to be reminded of proper conduct.

Spoken like a true Turk (like its the first time I hear this)....with a little more practice you can get your badge.

BTW, you are off topic. Iranian Armenian relations remember?

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

I have said many times, that there are some Iranian tourists that off to no good when visiting Armenia. They act like the city is theirs, they often get into fist fights, and do other criminal acts. These hooligans are not liked at all by the local Armenians. I have all the right as an Armenian to scare these hooligans, doesn't matter where they are from. I hate when tourists behave themselves like that and I will get very mad if I see those hooligans front of me. When it comes to normal tourists, there is no reason to do anything to them. I actually have helped the more civilised Iranian tourists several times.
