Iranian studies expert Sevak Sarukhanyan expects no progress in
regional issues. "No progress will be registered in Karabakh peace
process shortly. Most likely, Armenia-Turkey reconciliation will be
frozen and no regional developments will affect Armenia in any way,"
Deputy Director of Noravank Scientific-Research Foundation Sevak
Sarukhanyan told journalists today.
Referring to Armenia's role in the region, Sarukhanyan noted that the
country does not depend on gas and oil pipelines passing through the
region, thus two strategic programs should be implemented. First --
construction of nuclear reactor, second one - putting into operation
5th power unit of Hrazdan TPP.
"It will considerably strengthen Armenia's energy security and enable
exporting power to regional states. Presently, we export electricity
to Iran, and perhaps have a chance to supply it to Turkey further as
well," the expert said.
