Re: Great read about Andranik Teimourian

It was a good article on Iranian-Armenians who excel in sports, so it was a part of their influence on this country.

As mentioned in the article Shahabbas of Iran brought Armenians to Iran 400 years ago and I believe this might be the only Armenian community in the world whose every single person can read and write Armenian. I wonder after four centuries how we have not been assimilated? This is so amazing! Maybe a miracle!

Ps: there is no intermarriage between Persians and Armenians of Iran.

If you are parskahay then you should never say there are a lot of intermarriages. We never marry Iranians (except for some very rare cases which you might know the consequences) and that is one of the big reasons that we have kept our culture, language and traditions after so many years living in this country.

If I marry a non-armenian man(Iranian), I’m sure my dad will kill me, and of course I don’t want to do so. I’m shocked by your statement!

im not sure particularly where you've growp and seen this but in my own personal experience, ive seen Armenans marry non-Armenians in Tehran, in Manchester, in Dallas. i even know an Armenian right now in a serious relationship with a black. i dont think these are isolated incidents

Re: Great read about Andranik Teimourian

What do you mean?, I was born in Tehran and still live there.
First of all I’m talking about Iran not England or the States, and then everybody knows that Armenians of Iran for whatever the reason that you might know do not marry Iranians( this does not mean we don’t get on well with each other) you’ve seen parskahays marry Iranians but how many?
I have seen too but this is sooooo rare and most of the time the Armenian side is rejected by her/his own family and more importantly that person (married to a non-armenian) has no place in our community (and fortunately or unfortunately their children are rejected as well!).
Good or bad, this is the reality of what is going on in Iran.
