NEW IRANIAN PRESIDENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO PROSPERITY OF ARMENIAN COMMUNITY
YEREVAN, August 6. / ARKA /. The new president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani,
will contribute to the prosperity of the Iranian Armenian community,
Roudik Yaralyan, an Armenian expert in Iranian affairs, said today.
"Rouhani will do everything for the prosperity of the Armenian
community and ensure that it continues to come out as an active factor
in the Armenian-Iranian relations", he said to ARKA.
Noting that Iran's leadership has always been positive towards the
Armenian community, Yaralyan expressed confidence that during the
presidency of Rouhani this position will not undergo drastic changes.
"As for the dwindling Armenian population of Iran, in my opinion,
it should be blamed on the Armenian mentality rather than on Western
sanctions against Iran and the rising inflation.
Armenians usually choose the countries where conditions are most
favorable for living," he said.
In the late 20th century, the Armenian community of Iran had about
180,000 people. Today, according to many estimates, it has dwindled
to about 70 thousand people. -0-
