There is a poem from the late Parvin Etesami which is pretty famous and goes as such :
واعظی پرسید از فرزند خویش
هیچ میدانی مسلمانی به چیست؟
صدق و بی آزاری و خدمت به خلق
هم عبادت،هم کلید زندگیست
گفت: "زین معیار اندر شهرما،
یک مسلمان هست آن هم ارمنیست" !
A clergyman asks his son,
Do you know what the basis of Islam is?
Honesty, harmlessness, and helping people.
These are the prayers and key of life,
Then the cleric says : Based on these elements in our city,
There is only one Muslim, and that one is an Armenian.
