List of Iranian Armenians

Last updated

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]
