Really? They were fleeing the Shah?
We met Iranians shortly have the Shah was deposed in our hometown.
That’s just interesting. I have no expertise in the matter.
Just saw this - Yep - had lots of friends that were Armenian in Junior College (Glendale Community College to drop names..) Had 4-5 friends from Tehran that were my age and found them to be extremely friendly. The general story was the Shah’s secret police were rather oppressive.
