Migrations West to East in the Times of the Ottoman Empire
The Example of a Gypsy/Roma Group in Modern Iran
Elena Marushiakova and Vesselin Popov
This article presents the community of the Romanies/Gypsies called the Zargar, who live in contemporary Iran. For centuries the Zargar had not been aware of the existence of other Gypsies. Only nowadays, with the means of modern telecommunications, including the Internet, have representatives of the Zargar 'discovered' that there are other Roma in the world, and they have begun looking for their place within the international Romani community. Lacking a clear memory of their own past, the Zargar are trying to construct such a history and an extended identity, while establishing contact with their 'kin' in Europe.

During 2006, Telecom Italia—the most important of Italy’s entirely privatized
companies and one of the largest in the country in terms of market
capitalization, profit, employment, and technological wealth—ran into
political controversy. On 11 September, CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera
presented the company’s board with a strategic plan that, breaking with
the course followed the previous year, foresaw the unbundling of three
divisions: Telecom Italia (TI, landline telephone services, Internet, and
media operations), Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM, mobile telephone services),
and Telecom Italia Rete (the network operator). In the days following
the announcement, the government claimed that it had been kept
in the dark about the proposal despite a series of meetings with the TI
board. The press nevertheless revealed that one of Romano Prodi’s advisers
had sent Tronchetti an alternative plan that would have allowed the
purchase of the landline network by the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (Deposit
and Loans Fund), a holding group controlled by the Ministry of Finance.
Prodi denied any knowledge of this plan in Parliament (his adviser subsequently
resigned).
