Oct 10, 2008 - Nevertheless, this is an ENGLISH LANGUAGE website. It would be nice if we could at least understand the Iranian propaganda with a few subtitles...
seantheiverson Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Uh, there isn't any propaganda involved in this lesson of Iranian history. They aren't even speaking about anything that involves the present.
seantheiverson Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Well, it's in Farsi. Persian's a culture. That's like saying, "I'm speaking American."

Oct 10, 2008 - First of all, everyone residing in Iran is Aryan. They are all Iranian whether Kurd or Turk. Secondly, if you take the term "Persian" literally, you would only be refering to the people of the Pars (Fars)province. The term "Persian" today means "Iranian."

Oct 10, 2008 - the only racist are you..turk and your kind solmaz87, like khameneyee and many turks who are supporting I.R.I. Btw, there is no relation between lying about history of ancient Persia and your comment and developing freedom in Iran!
