Najarian is an Armenian last name so it is pretty unlikely she has any love for the Iranian government. In fact, we have more reason to despise muslims than anyone out there (look up Armenian Genocide of 1915). There's plenty of reasons to despise Page and Strzok, I just don't think this is one of them
This. I know many Iranians (Persians and Armenians) that fled Iran as the Shah was losing his iron grip and Islam was taking over(and many that fled the Shah as well - one terrible evil was replaced by an even darker evil).
The Iran we see now is not the Iran of the 70's. People should be careful of how they're casting judgement (OP and others, not you, never_forget_seth)
Yeah us Armenians used to be all over that region and I don't want us to be lumped in with all the crazy inbred fanatics that are fucking it all up now. Many came here to the US to find a better life, live in freedom, and give a big fuck you to oppression. We make some pretty solid patriots!
Hell yes, you guys do! I had a dear friend in high school, last name of Aghekian. Her family was Armenian refugees who came here in the 70s. Her family even then was patriotic AF. They loved America.
Yeah it's possible. Although Armenians didn't have their own country until recently and many of us lived all over the region. My family for example is from Syria so if people ask where I'm from I would say Syrian because my family never came from Armenia. Similarly, there used to be a lot of Armenians in Iran and I know quite a few who's family originated from there so it may be something similar! I'd be curious what your co-worker's background is and how he/she got that last name
