YEREVAN, #Armenia —A handful of #Iranian businesses cluster together at the end of Firdawsi alleyway, a sidestreet named after the famous Persian poet.
Sandwiched between an Iranian barbershop and the end of the alleyway is an establishment called Rose’s Bar.

As the situation in Iran reaches a crisis point, the number of those fleeing Iran and seeking refuge in neighbouring countries like #Armenia rises — bringing #Iranians to places like Rose’s.
