Shlama Akhi Addai,
Mar Aprim wasn't part of the Persian Church. In fact, when Persia conquered Edessa he fled further west into the Byzantine empire.
Mar Yaqub (James) of Nisibis lived and led the church there while Nisibis was under Roman control. Nisibis didn't come under Persian control until the reign of the Persian Shah Shapur II.
The Church of the East had no representation or participation at Nicea, or at any other Western Church council. Likewise, the Church of the West had no representation or participation at any Eastern Church council.
