Abstract
The Armenians have lived for over two thousand years out of their history of three thousand years, fighting for their independence or under foreign domination. Of these foreign dominations the most durable and the most significant was that of Iran. This domination embraced rule of the Achamenian, Parthian, Sassanian and Sefavid dynasties. The Iranian rule was comparatively more benevolent than the rest. It has left its positive imprint and has contributed in the evolution of the Armenian people.
Inspired by her own political, strategic and financial considerations, Iran throughout her history has shown a friendly attitude towards Armenia and Armenian people.
In the centuries of Irano-Armenian relations a few significant events - such as the Vartanantz battle of 451 and the forced deportation of the Armenian people in 1604 by Shah-Abbas — have been painted with the darkest colors in Armenian historiography.
This fact has cast its shadows on the objective evaluation of Irano-Armenian relations. A serious and scientific approach to study of the matter will bring us to a more positive conclusion concerning the period of Iranian domination of Armenia.
