"Caucasian diary" magazine published an article about Iran and
Armenian-Iranian relations. As the magazine writes Armenia and Iran
has always had good relations and bilateral sympathy. These countries
are united not only by the geography but also by the historical ties
and cultural traditions.
"Opposite Azerbaijan Iran has never had any territorial claim towards
Armenia.
Iran is the next country after the USA which has recognized Armenian
independence and opened the Embassy in Yerevan on 1992. Iran provided
Armenia with food and goods during the hardest time, during the
Nagorno Karabakh war", author of the article Gocha Darchia writes.
Nearly 120.000 ethnic Armenians live in Iran and some of them are
presented in the Milli Mejlis. Besides this Armenians have right to
spread their religion freely. Armenian churches in Iran are included
in the UNESCO international cultural heritage protection list.
Iran is now pressed much by different sides and even the economical
sanctions are held against it. Despite of all these Yerevan continues
strengthening relations with this Islamic country.
"At first sight is may seem that Armenia shout assist the sanctions
against Iran as Armenia gets millions of dollars form the USA and EU.
But despite of the close cooperation with the West Yerevan has not
cut off ties with Tehran as well as Armenia has no other way", the
magazine writes.
Because of the Azerbaijani territorial claims towards Armenia Armenian
borders with Azerbaijan and Turkey are closed.
"Yerevan knows well that if refuses cooperation with Iran so Iranian
leaders will act cruelly. Economical and political ties with Iran are
not only for financial profit but also have geopolitical interests",
the author writes and adds that if military actions are started
Armenia will be a friendly country for Iran and the latter will have
more confident back.
According to the magazine Armenian energetic future based on joint
programs with Iran will have really "grey colors" because of the
sanctions.
"The experts have one opinion here: Armenia must be concrete which
way to choose. Armenian relations with Tehran are also connected with
Iranian-Western relations", "Caucasus diary" concludes.
