POSSIBILITY OF IRAN'S GETTING HOLD OF NUCLEAR WEAPON WORRIES
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, POLITICAL SCIENTIST SAYS
YEREVAN, January 17 (Noyan Tapan). If the statement of Iran's Defence
Minister Ali Shahmani about the possibility of the mass production of
meduim-range ballistic missiles in Iran is not just blackmail attempts
and have a serious ground, this will undoubtedly lead to a more strict
US policy with respect to Iran. Stepan Grigorian, a political
scientist and a board member of the NGO "Armat" ("Root"), stated this
while commenting, during his interview to NT, on Iran's Defence
Minister's statement that the country can produce "Shahab" missiles
that, according to some experts, can reach as far as Israel or
Ameriacan military bases stationed in the Persian Gulf.
According to him, in this connection it is very important that George
Bush has been re-elected US President, that is, the new conception of
Greater Middle East will be realized. In particular it lies in that an
attempt will be made to establish democratic regimes in Iran and Syria
and thus an increasing US pressure on Iran and Syria is not ruled out.
According to S. Grigorian's estimates, the possibilty of Iran's
getting hold of nuclear weapon worries not only the US but also the
European Union and Russia. Despite a more tolerant attitude to nuclear
programs implementation in Iran, Russia, however, is not interested in
Iran's possessing nuclear weapon.
"The international community understands very well what an ideologized
regime is - it is very dangerous. We should not forget Iran is an
ideologized state and as soon as it gets a nuclear weapon, it will use
it," the political scientist stressed.
