Sorry, but to compare the Christians who fought in Iran’s armed forces (both under the Monarchy and the Islamic Republic) with the Ottoman Janissaries (kidnapped Christian children who were forcibly converted to Islam and trained to defend the Sultan) is unfair and shows a grwat lack of knowledge.
Especially when considering that the elite Assyrian-Armenian Christian units in the 1920-30’s Iranian army were used to quell Islamist rebels... the very opposite of the Janissaries who were used to spread Islam’s realm.
I did not call them Janissaries I called them Neo-Janissaries.
Something that does not exist, but might be a relative term.
