LMAO, great story, almost brought tears to my eye; but something tells me a lot of details were intentionally left out :^)
- alephnerd 3y agoI mean, the escaping from Iran via Turkey story isn't that crazy. I've heard similar stories from Iranian friends and coworkers from that era. The Iran-Turkey border is Iranian Kurdistan which fell into chaos after the Iranian Revolution with a very brutal insurgency in the 80s, which occurred concurrently with the Iran-Iraq war which itself was horrendous. Despite all that people would literally try to escape via border regions under active war because the alternative in early 80s Iran was worse. All the other stuff might be filler or PR-ified but the first part definetly tracks.
