What Protest in Iran Are about and What It Means for Armenia
Protests in Iran erupted on September 16, after a 22-year-old woman of Kurdish ethnic background, Mahsa Amini, died in hospital reportedly due to torture at the hands of religious morality police officers. There were 326 dead during the mass protests in Iran as of Nov 12, according to the Oslo-based Iran Human Rights organization. Western political figures point out the human rights problems in Iran, and Iranian authorities on the other hand blame the West for inciting the demonstrations. Meanwhile, the instability in Iran contains challenges for the region and Armenia as well.
