Re: Are Iranian-Armenians Iranian? What is Armenian Assimilation?
Arsacid Dynasty or Arshakuni Dynasty: Ethnic Iranian-&-Armenian Dynasties ("Iranian-Armenian")
I will update this section to show more Armenian ties to Iran - Because of the extensive history there is so much to add -- the Arshakuni family of Khorason, Iran that became the cornerstone of Armenia in antiquity for several centuries is only a small part of that legacy. The connections are vast and cannot be dealt with in a single post.

Pay attention to what you see below:

Arsacid Dynasty or Arshakuni Dynasty
The Arsacid Dynasty or Arshakuni Dynasty originated in Khorasan, Iran (in Persian it means the land of the sun); the Arshakunis, an Iranian-Armenian tribe, established huge territories in Greater Armenia.

Excuse me, but which "Armenian" tribe was this gentleman from?
For anyone that wants to see where Khorason is:
You my friend are totally correct. The above example is from prior to the birth of Jesus. It actually goes back much further than that. Many prominent Armenians have ethnic Iranian names based on their ethnic ties to ancient Iranian tribes (e.g., Sassounian = member of the Persian Sassanid family).
