Iranians in France


France has been the oldest and most traditional host to Iranians compared to other nations. The number of Iranians living in France is surprisingly low, it does not exceed 25,000 of which perhaps 50% have French citizenships.

The first Iranian flux to France started in the early stages of the 20 century, where scientific and social developments in Iran resulted in state sponsored scholarships, dispatching the first waves of students to France. The second wave of Iranian emigrants to France, was a direct result of the revolution of 1979, which like all revolutions brings displacements and emigrations with itself. This second wave consists almost entirely of political or cultural emigrants and they form up almost 90% of the Iranian immigrants in France of today.

Iranians in France are generally very happy people, since almost all are above average educated, they also have little difficulty in assimilating in the French society. The French Judicial system is almost equal in its bureaucracy with the Iranian, which makes a lot of the cultural issues feasible (for Iranians), like publications and etc. Iranians living in France tend to stay there and furthermore enjoy a remarkable level of social respect by their host.

To sum up this "Iranians in....." series I give an estimate in the number of Iranians living in some of the countries ( only those with a reliable source)
Iranians living in..
USA / 1.5 Mil.
UAE / 400,000
Israel / 135,000
Canada / 120,000
Germany / 120,000
UK / 80,000
France / 25,000
Scandinavia / 60,000 ( only 17,000 proven Iranian)
Switzerland / 7,000

There are as ever, exceptions to the rules.

If one speaks fluent French one has no problems in France. France has all climates an Iranian desires. we don't have to leave. I am happy here. The French have a thing with the north Africans and the north Africans a thing with the French. They don't like each other very much.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

Image
This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
