List of Iranian Armenians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of Armenian-Iranians)

This is a list of Iranian Armenian notable people by birth or ancestry, ethnicity or nationality, arranged by main profession then birthdate. For similar reasons related to ethnogenesis and national identity, this list starts from the early modern history of Armenia and Iran, when the Safavids established Iranian Armenia (1502–1828) and a national state officially known as Persia or Iran and reasserted the Iranian identity of the region.[Note 1]

This list is not automatically filled but the following Iranian people have either stated that they are Armenians or that credible sources indicate that. To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article and references showing the person is Armenian and Iranian.
