  • Wrong information

    Hi there

    You are exploiting from media and give wrong historical information to people

    You said absolutely wrong information about the oldest country in the world that is IRAN not any others country

    Maybe you can speak English fluently because that is your first language but you can not change the History, you should study more than this when you want talk about important matter. I have doubts that you say those wrong information about IRAN without purposes
