I read a story a few years ago about a Swedish journalist who was attacked
in Armenia during the collapse of the Soviet Union. The attackers figured
than anyone blond had to be Russian, and therefore an enemy.

Then John Tzimisces, Byzantine Emperor and one of the more known Armenians
in history, was renown for his blond hair and blue eyes. And the most
blue-eyed people in the word is supposedly a Tuareg tribe in Alegeria.
