"I want to thank my family and friends for all their support," she said. "I look forward to the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam." Outgoing Miss Universe Canada 2007, Toronto's Inga Skaya, 22, said, "It's been a life-altering experience for me." Tajik will represent Canada at the July 14 Miss Universe 2008 pageant in Vietnam, and has won the use of a car for a year, jewellery and trips.

Iran is the old name of Persia but probably many people make mistake with Iraq, most people including me call themselves persian. the other reason, persian naming was used before revolution by shah, therefore many people wants to use that term and because of 2500 years ceremony of persian empire. people believe persian name is older but actualy iran was the first name of the mountain, in which country started long before persian name. other reoson is persian empire used in history book, maybe empire shows more power and people wants to present the country vast power. But being Iranian or Persian shows most importantly the long history and then power of the country. although, history in reality shows ups and down of every country, in which effect on human's life and their personalities.

Also, every country has lots of beautiful people contrasting to the population.

by Maya (not verified) on Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:51 AM PDT

Actually many of this girls are from Afghanistan but it's
easer to say that they are Persian because they are scared ...Like Miss UK Hummosa and many others ...
But anyways in the end of the day they look same so it's hard to say ...

Interesting...

Iranian women who have migrated have sooooo often become chosen as Miss, UK, Canada, and elsewhere. I think they are on top of all migrant communities, compared to their numbers!

If the ladies are good looking enough, let them all be Persians!

by Cy (not verified) on Fri May 02, 2008 11:31 PM PDT

All those places mentioned in John Carpenter’s post, were at one time a Persian Satrap or a province. Our empire was vast and inclusive. Places like Tajikistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Dagestan were snatched away from Persia by the evil Russian Czars. Not to mention that they have not been an independent Country long enough to take down their USSR insignia yet. If those ladies find affection to the culture of mother Persia, we won't object to that. Welcome back home Ladies! As for the name of Persian Gulf becoming anything else, I warn everybody not to even go there. Furthermore, In Persia God's name is Ahora-Mazda and not Allah. Arabs can have the Allah.

Tajik is a common Iranian

by Rostam-e-Dastan (not verified) on Fri May 02, 2008 02:42 PM PDT

Tajik is a common Iranian last name. So I don't see why she could not be Iranian. Regardless, even if she is Afghan or Tajik, Iranians are still proud of her. Afghans and Tajiks are like our brothers and sisters.

Is Ms. Tajik really Iranian?

by John Carpenter III (not verified) on Fri May 02, 2008 11:45 AM PDT

The article writes she was born in Iran. Is Ms. Tajik really Iranian?

Her parents may have immigrated from Afghanistan or Tajikistan to Iran.

Sarah Shahi is Iranian, no doubt.

There are a lot of 1/2 Iranian models.

It would be great if Iranian media and the Iranian internet sites would research how much Iranian the modles are.

In southern California (L.A.), for example, a lot of people use the term "Persian" loosely. Even Afghans and Iraqis in L.A. refer to themselves as Persian.

In the New York City area, Pakistanis and Indians refer to themselves as "Persians".

This error should stop.

It is my firm belief that the term "Iranian" should be used instead of "Persian".

The word "Persia" and "Persian" is a western word for the "Fars" and "Farsi" word in the Persian language.

Iran was always called "Iran" in the Farsi language.

I even believe that we should rename the "Persian Gulf", the "Iranian Gulf".

It will always be the "Iranian Gulf". Because ALLAH loves it that way.

As far as Ms. Tajik is concerned, I wish to know if she is a real Iranian.

And why not?

Hajiagha berim khastegaree?!

by Anonymouse on Fri May 02, 2008 05:00 AM PDT

Hajiagha one word and we'll go to khastegaree her for you! Yes or no? 

All you have to say is "yes" and we'll send an Army to khastegaree!~

So what do you say?  I don't see anything wrong with her, do you?

She looks good and would be a good match.  Come on don't be picky.  You said you wanted small nose, what else do you want?!

She is both Miss Canada and Miss Universe.  She can't be Miss America because Miss Universe is run by Donald Trump who owns Miss USA, otherwise she would be Miss America too!

It would be nice we'll go to a wedding after all!
