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.
