Nov 18, 2008 - Great video, Armenians have contributed much to the world in the fields of Science, Art and world culture. There is one athlete in this video, however, who is not Armenian. Andre Agassi was born to an Assyrian father from Iran and an American mother.

Nov 18, 2008 - I think it is a good video we should help him not only mentioning the names of the missing athletes but by sending him their pics & profile :)
FamousArmenians Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Andre Agassi himself stated that his father was ARMENIAN. He said that during an interview with Larry King on 9/7/2006. You can read the full transcript on CNN's website. Here is what he said:KING: The name Agassi is what derivation?AGASSI: Armenian, so my father was from Armenia and his parents sort of settled in Tehran.
FamousArmenians Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - BTW--Agassi's Armenian father was famous in his own right. He was Emmanuel Aghassian (known as Mike Agassi) and boxed for Iran in the Olympics.
AssyrianAmerican100 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I stand corrected. Thank you for the information, I had assumed that he was Assyrian, simply because Agassi is a common last name among Iranian Assyrians.
