During the same period, Iran's Armenian community, once a prominent Christian minority in Tehran, has declined by more than 80%. Although the Armenian community is recognised by the constitution and granted specific privileges under Iranian law, they do not share equal rights with their Shi'i Muslim compatriots. Drawing upon interviews conducted with members of the Armenian community and using sources in both Persian and Armenian languages, this book questions whether the Islamic Republic has failed or succeeded in fostering a cohesive identity which enables non- Muslims to feel a sense of belonging in this Islamic Republic . As state identities are also often key in exacerbating ethnic conflict, this book probes into the potential cleavage points for future social conflict in Iran. 650 0 $a Armenians $z Iran. 650 0 $a Armenians $z Iran $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Armenians $z Iran $x Religion. 650 0 $a Christians $z Iran. 651 0 $a Iran $x Ethnic relations. 650 7 $a Armenians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814767 650 7 $a Armenians $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814775 650 7 $a Armenians $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814788 650 7 $a Christians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859760 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CEDFC4E462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
