  Armenia can help West reach agreement with IranJune 22, 2009 - 18:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is the only country in the region which can offer U.S. and Europe a platform for talks with Iran and Russia, Richard Giragosian, director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS) , said during today's "Armenia at the crossroads of communications" international conference. "Armenia can help West reach agreement with Iran and help Europe to smooth relations with Russia," he said. At that Mr. Giragosian said that Eastern Partnership is not a threat for Russia. As to Armenia, challenges emerge from inside, but not from Azerbaijan or Turkey. "Armenia can become weak and unstable. Our strategic relations with Russia should not be vassalic. Russia for its part, should balance its position on Armenia," he said.
