Tabriz

Vartan Gregorian was born in the ancient city of Tabriz in northern Iran.

In his lovely autobiography, The Road to Home, Vartan notes that some archeologists believe that the historical location of the Garden of Eden was in Tabriz.

At this moment, Sakineh sits in her cell in Tabriz, cut off from the outside world after a horrific four-year ordeal.

The Tehran and Tabriz bazaars closed briefly on December 16 as a show of protest against the desecration.

So the frontier dispute dragged on ad infinitum till the British Consul left it to settle itself, and went back to Tabriz.

So he gave them permission to return to their home, and requested them to take the princess to Tabriz on the way.

He was treated with honour and hospitality, and returned by way of Samarkand and Tabriz, to his own territory.

He himself became judge in Shiraz, and died in Tabriz about 1286.

So he pressed on in great weakness till he reached Tabriz, and there met the British Ambassador.
