Hi Bob.

Right now, officially No.

For Armenians and Assyrians, depends on situation.

But in Pahlavi Era, Yes.

It was National Holiday for them.

Back in the days of the Shah, a lot of your guys used to come to the UK for training at various military establishments. We got along fine in those days. Would you say life in your country is better or worse since then. As for Halloween there are many Christians who frown upon it as being a pagan festival. It is blown out of proportion due to commercial interests.

We Have Nice Beaches....

Beach Resorts ?

I prefer Persian Gulf, From West, Arvand Kenar to East, Pasabandar.

Caspian Sea has nothing.

Everyone should dress up as Fallon this year and go trick or treating with an axe.
