Many Iranians go for their Nowruzholidays to Armenia. Women don't have to cover their hair and people are not forced to keep the Islamic code of conduct and appearance. Also music, clubs and concerts can be visited here, which are forbidden in Iran.
Since 2 years more and more Iranian tourists come to Armenia.
The increased tourism from Iran is very important to the Armenian touristindustry.

Rahim Rostami (19) whose request for asylum is denied in Norway, was extradited February 9th to Iran and brought to Tehran. Authorities interrogated him and he was transferred to Evinprison immediately. Reports have said that he is in solitary confinement.
In 2008 Rostami sought asylum in Norway as a juvenile. This request was denied.
Iranian authorities have recently signalized that Iranians who have sought asylum abroad should be charged for "dissemination of false propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran" and punished for that.
This means that seeking asylum by itself could be a reason for the Iranian authorities to subject the asylum seekers who are extradited to Iran, to persecution, imprisonment and ill-treatment.
