A Greek Iranologist's response to Rubio's anti-Iranian remarks at the Acropolis in Athens.
The Greek Iranologist Evangelos Ventis in an interview with Tasnim news:
🔹 It is impossible to reduce all relations between two cultures to eternal conflict and hostility based on one historical event.
🔹The Americans, and before them the British, repeatedly misused Greek culture and the historical ties between Iran and Greece.
🔹Without the Achaemenid Empire and its extensive communication networks, there was no historical and cultural basis for the emergence of Greek philosophy.
🔹 More opportunities should be given to the residents of Greece and other European countries to understand the reality of Iranian society.
