Entering Iran on 2 passports for two purposes?
I am an Iranian citizens, as well as a Canadian citizen visiting Iran this Spring, (I am entering on my Iranian passport) and staying 3 months, no longer. My question is since I plan to enter either Armenia, or Turkmenistan after Iran, do I need to show my Iranian, or Canadian passport at the Armenian or Turkmen embassies in Tehran to get a visa? Obviously, the price for Iranians should be a little lower, but I am more concerned with the practicalities of having 2 passports in Iran, one for entering, and the other for getting visas for 3rd party countries.
How should I do this in Iran? If you are living in Iran, please advise me. Thanks.

This is just a guess, but am I correct in assuming after leaving Armenia or Turkmenistan you're returning to Iran for your homebound flight... then best to use the passport with which you entered Iran.
If returning home from Armenia or Turk. it might not make much difference unless the cost of visa, as you say, is probably less with the Iranian passport vs the Canadian.
In that part of the world, I believe it's best to have entry/departure stamps on the same passport.
Use the Canadian passport for re-entry home so you don't have to wait on the Immigration (foreigner) queue.

I would like to read your report (am waiting...)
