Many times war minister of Iran. Head of Coronation Committee 1967. Yazataepanach ... YAZDANPANAH... Maybe we will call him simply Morteza :whistle:
Mitya Ivanov Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 No, we'd better learn new words and names:) General Yazdanpanah himself gave us a nice example: he spoke Russian.
JapanX Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 No, we'd better learn new words and names:) General Yazdanpanah himself gave us a nice example: he spoke Russian. Why? Morteza and I we both speak Russian!!! "Learning new words and names" ... I am trying as hard as I can not to forget what I knew yesterday

Megan Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Someone who's got around a bit... Ethiopia, Greece, Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Syria... but all fairly low level awards (5th classes, mostly) so not some high-powered diplomat... that is, assuming it is not just a random collection bunged on a medal bar.
