Tehran hosts the 43rd Iranian´s Armenian Olympics

850 Armenian athletes from across the country are taking part in the 43rd Armenian Olympics in Tehran; this annual event is held in eight fields including soccer, basketball, track and field, chess, swimming, tennis, table tennis and billiard.

Iran's Armenia Olympics is not international but regional countries like Armenia, Lebanon and Syria can join the games if they wish.
The level of the games is very high; the rivals are moving neck and neck. The Armenians Olympics is aimed at finding new talents in Armenian sports and encourage the youth to turn to sports. Although this year we did not have any participant from other countries we hope that with a rise in the budget we will be able to make this Olympics international.
This Olympics provides a good ground for Armenian athletes to join Iran's national teams as a result Armenian female basketball players have become an inseparable part of Iran's national basketball team.
Iran's Armenian athletes have great potentials and talents and fortunately they have been successful at national and international competitions; now with the establishment of Iran's Ministry of Sports, we hope to pay special attention to the Armenian athletes.
In the past couple of years Iran's Armenian teams have achieved great successes at different international competitions like the World Armenian Games.
Although Iran's Armenia Olympics is an sports event, Iran's Armenian use it as an opportunity to spend time together in joy and happiness.
