Military operations against Iran to be imposed by the West is little
possible in the near future, Ruben Safrastyan, director of Institute
of Oriental Studies, said in a news conference Friday.
"Military operations against Iran will be disaster not only for
Armenia, but for the neighbor countries and many others," Ruben
Safrastyan said.
Still the expert thinks military operations won't resume.
"I'm hopeful the West will take into account that Iran is not Iraq. In
spiritual and military terms Iran is a more powerful state. They
should also consider the influence of two million Iranian Diaspora,
the great part of which live in US," said the expert.
Ruben Safrastyan thinks Russia can have a pivotal role in this respect,
as Russia will never allow massive military operations to be carried
out near its borders.
