- Support - One of many Armenian subjects incorrectly called Persian. --Steverci (talk) 20:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
- Animals do not have nationality or citizenship and are not owned by any ethnic group or country. The point here is that its common name is "Armenian mouflon". Its name doesn't make it any more of an Armenian animal or less of an Iranian one. Someone had previously moved it to "Iranian red sheep" without any discussion and this is intended to correct that. --Երևանցի talk 00:29, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
