MUHAMMAD ATRIANFAR
(Mohammad Atrianfar)
The “different character” has local and national variations throughout the Middle East including Arabs and Persians. This affects speeches, public statements, and press releases. To Americans and Europeans it appears to be lying or self-delusion in the speakers part. And when this different character translates to the written word in newspapers or books, it is even more difficult to label and understand.
