Cycling PERSIA week 2 | A sandstorm and Iranian hospitality

Bike touring through Iran was a controversial decision, but the country or rather the people continue to surprise us. Despite difficult weather conditions we feel extremely welcome. Camping in the wild turns out to be a challenge, but not in the way one would think. In this episode we continue our Amazing World Bike Tour from Tabriz in the Eastern Azerbaijan province all the way to Saqqez in Iranian Kurdistan, where we get an unlikely invitation.

I deeply appreciate how detailed and full of fun anecdotes your videos are. Thank you for sharing your adventures :) I cannot wait to go on my own long cycling adventure and visit Iran, every single video I see about Iran tells the same story about how awesome it's inhabitants are. I would love to live it myself. Once again a thousand thanks for all your hard work and your beautiful film 😊

    Dear Ashley, thanks. It means a lot to us, that the little details get appreciated. It is not easy to capture those moments on camera, but they really are the essence of our journey. You're gonna love the next episode ;-) We hope you experience something like it yourself not too far in the future. Many situations will remind you of our journey, however, everyone has a very unique experience, as we are all unique. If you should go solo, be aware that this changes a lot, in every country.

    I guess his concern is that the term 3rd world country is quite derogatory, implying a country is of less importance. Stating the actual problem, e.g. poverty, low living standards, etc. does instead address a solvable problem.

    I live in Iran, and the statistics you mentioned are part of the problem we face here. Unfortunately, European countries and human rights organizations, by collaborating with Kurdish terrorist groups, are spreading these misconceptions and inaccurate historical information. For instance, you mentioned that Kurds number 22 million, while some sources claim 40 million. These claims go further, even suggesting that the Sumerians, Prophet Muhammad, and the Gutians were Kurds, which is inaccurate information. In Iran, ethnic extremism and nationalism, or ethnic fascism, have been instigated by Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and Baluchis, who provide false statistics and historical misinformation. For example, Kurds never mention that in the 1980s, in the Qarana area near the city of Naqadeh, 800,000 people were killed by these ethnic terrorist parties, which today are supported by Europe and human rights organizations. They also do not tell you that Kurds beheaded thousands of Iranian soldiers alive during the Iran-Iraq war. However, their leaders and supporters come to Europe, playing the victim and seeking the support of human rights organizations, trying to threaten the territorial integrity of Iran. When you said "Rojava," this is an insult to the Iranian nation and country. You are using a term that is against international laws, but because of the victim-playing and lies told to human rights organizations by the Kurds and their terrorist parties, people are unaware. The Kurds number between 8 to 10 million, and they are not only in Kurdistan. Not all of them support the terrorist beliefs of Komala, the Democratic Party, and PJAK. Kurds in Ilam, Kermanshah, and Khorasan oppose these parties.

The total number of Kurds is estimated to be around 81.5 million, far surpassing the 38 million Persians. Your statements are spreading lies and ayatollah propaganda. The real terrorists are the oppressive regime of Iran. Kurds in Iran are denied even the basic right to use Kurdish names, yet you dare to label us as terrorists? The 8-10 million figure you cite has been used since the 1980s. Are you suggesting that the Kurdish population has not grown at all, unlike the rest of the world?

Nowadays the fuel is so cheap that it is not economical for farmers to seek a better solution. It will create massive problems for the people once they have to pay the actual cost of fuel.

    It is exactly what happened. They in fact changed the year of the calendar back to the 15th century. Islam might very well be the fastest growing religion right now. However, how that is of relevance to us or to anything is not clear to us, as well as your claim about a healthy lifestyle. We believe people should be free to choose what they think is good for them, without interfering with the life of people who choose differently. The current form of Irans government was created almost 45 years ago, when two thirds of the current population was not even born yet. The current supreme leader was appointed by tiny group of people 35 years ago. If you are concerned about a lack of respect, this is where some people might see an issue. We hope that helped to clear things up ;-)

    On 2-3 December 1979 Iranians voted, and the official result was over 99% in favor. However, the referendum was boycotted by some secular, leftist and Kurdish groups. Accordingly it only got a total of 15,578,956 votes, almost 5 million less than the earlier referendum for an Islamic Republic. So, at best, you can argue that roughly 50% of eligible voters in 1980 voted in favour of the new Islamic constitution, which officially turned Iran into a Unitary presidential theocratic Islamic republic. However, the Iranian president is not elected in free and fair elections. According to himself, he also does not hold real power, because he has to ask the blessing of the "Supreme Leader" before doing anything. To us that sounds at least just as bad as it was before. Also, it is 2024 now. How many of the 90 Million Iranians alive today voted yes on that constitution?
