Abstract
The Iranian plateau has been the place of many tribes and nations who lived adjacent to each other over centuries. Iranian tribes settled in Iran almost at the beginning of the first millennium BC and put their name on it. In the 7th-8th centuries BC, one of Iranian tribes called Maday established Ma’ad government in the northwest of Iran. Then another Persian tribe called Parseh established the Achaemenid Empire in the southwest of Iran that embraced the entire Iranian plateau, Asia Minor, and a part of middle Asia. In recent historical periods, non-Iranian tribes entered this territory and continued to live alongside Iranians. Armenians are among these tribes which were mentioned for the first time in the Achamaenid Cossacks. This tribe has always had a spiritual and material relationship with Persia. The existence of Armenian Churches in various parts of Iran such as different churcheds in Tehran, Isfahan, Qara church, the church of Holy Stefanos in Jolfa Aras (9th century AD), the Holy Mosropol Church in northern Iran are signs of the presence of Armenians in this territory.
