THERE ARE REPORTS THAT US SANCTIONS WILL APPLY TO ONE ARMENIAN FIRM ONLY
According to the information of "Azg" newspaper only one Armenian enterprise is included in the list of the companies, to which the US sanctions will apply. Let us remind that a day or two ago the US Department of State stated that Washington was imposing sanctions against Armenian, Moldavian and Chinese private companies, accused of supplying Iran with equipment and technology, which could be used to produce mass extermination arms. The list totals 14 firms. Meanwhile the senior representative of the Iranian embassy in Yerevan stated that the American side's indictment is entirely groundless. According to the source's information, none of the Armenian firms ever supplied technologies and equipment connected with production of mass annihilation arms to Iran.
