No military actions against Iran will take place within the next 2-3
years, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Armenian
National Academy of Sciences, Professor Rouben Safrastyan said at
today's press conference in Yerevan.

allies attack Iran, Armenia will face inflow of refugees from Iran
and wound-up economic projects. "Azerbaijan may become a foothold
for the USA to attack Iran, after which the States may give up on
the Karabakh conflict resolution and Baku may resort to one more
aggression. In another scenario Turkey may become a mediator in the
Karabakh peace process. Naturally, neither of these scenarios is
beneficial for Armenia or Karabakh", he said.
According to the Professor, Armenia may an important role in the
resolution of the conflict between Iran and the USA to contribute to
a peaceful settlement by becoming a bridge between the conflicting
parties. When predicting the possible behavior of Russia in case of
aggravating of the Iranian problem, Safrastyan stressed that Russia is
a nuclear superpower, which will not admit military developments under
its nose. As regards the self-confident behavior of Tehran, the expert
pointed out the centuries-old diplomacy of Iran, which has a great
experience and is trying to use the given situation in its own favor.
