Mr. Homer Abramian Challenges ‘Persia’ Label, Affirms Iran’s Cultural Cohesion

In this episode, Mr. Homer Abramian explained that “Iran,” pronounced (Eye-Ran), has been used for thousands of years, and that “Persia” is derived from the Iranian language (Parsi). He believes It is an inaccurate name and has no relation to race. Mr Abramian believes fears of regime collapse leading to civil war or separatism are hard to happen, noting that Iran’s diverse nationalities are bound by intermarriages, shared identity and a common commitment to national unity despite dissatisfaction with the ruling regime.
