Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has described the role of Iranian
Armenians in the Iran-Iraq war as important.
"Religious minorities played a very important role in the Islamic
Revolution and during the Sacred Defence. The presence of Iranian
Armenian veterans in the Iran-Iraq war showed that Iranians have
always been together and support each other, especially in difficult
times. And this is a lesson for the world and especially those in some
countries who are at war with each other due to ethnic and religious
differences," the news agency quoted Rouhani as saying at a meeting
with families of Armenian "martyrs" and veterans held on 25 December
in Tehran.
Rouhani also hailed the turnout of Iranian Armenians in the
presidential election on 14 June and wished them a year full of
blessings and joy.
