Iran developments contradict Armenia’s interests, expert says

Developments on Iran’s problem contradict Armenia’s interests, for political and also humanitarian reasons, director of Noravank Research Foundation Gagik Harutyunyan said.

“Of course, developments in Iran influence Armenia directly. Iran has always respected the Armenian culture and the people, and the Armenian community never faced the authorities’ pressure,” he told a press conference in Yerevan.

Harutyunyan said apocalyptical scenario in this case may develop into use of nuclear potential of states involved in the conflict over Iran.
