      What I don't understand is why the most patriotic Armenians never seem to actually be living in Armenia. There is nothing at all holding such people back from relocating yet they always seem to have an excuse as to why they cannot, whilst in the mean time passing judgement on others who have made their choices in life.
      I wonder if a resident of Yerevan would call him an "unpatriotic punk".

              In that case you do not need to cut anything out.

                  However, I think you are being a bit too harsh on Teymourian. The man at least is proud to say he is an Armenian - unlike Andrea Agassi, who for many years denied his Armenian heritage. Good sportsmen like Teymouryan, Darchinyan, etc, should play for European teams and gain experience, exposure, wealth and fame. We, as a nation, can benefit from this by having our sport represenatives in Armenia invite these sportsmen to play in Armenia.

                  Don't expect someone to just turn down a European opportunity and go to an uncertain future within Armenia. Our sports field in Armenia is not up to par as of yet. We as a nation have some world class talent but our republic is not able to organize them at this time. The fault lies not in these individuals, the fault lies in the bad socio-economic condition of our small landlocked nation.

                  Instead of turning off these sportsmen by our negative attitudes, lets support them in their endeavors and hope that they in the future will reward us by representing our nation within various compitions worldwide. Lets think with our minds and our hearts. We need to learn to be better diplomats.
                  Playing for a European team has nothing to do with representing your country at the national level. I havent written a single thing discouraging any athlete from playing on European sports teams.

                    Dear friends,

                    Iranian-Armenians are not your standard immigrant group. They have been a part of Iranian society for millenia and are not looked at as immigrants. You don't see an American whose family came to the colonies in James town in the 1500/1600's play for the English National Team. Most Armenians in Iran have even much longer roots. Yet, they have maintained their own religious beliefs and cultural practices, providing a diverse group that has fit right in. The current Islamic Regime is just a blip on a much longer history of which Armenian-Iranians have been a central part.

                      Hamatoon berin ghomshin.

                      Teymourian maleh MAHS! Teymourian Irani hastesh.

                      Teymourian is Iranian. Just because he's Christian doesn't mean he's Armenian.

                      I'm pretty sure his family goes back to Iran even about 1000 years.

                      If you don't agree, then, Kiram tu kunet.
