In Iran's last game 2 Armenians played as starters. Here are their pictures:

ARK Jaan,

I have a question:

Is Markousi an Iranian Armenian by birth, or he changed citizenship to play for Iran.

The reason that I say that in some sites, his nationality was mentioned as from Armenia.

If you know, I appreciate that.

Thanks
