YEREVAN. - Serious people in the West will consider lots of factors
prior to launching military actions against Iran, Oriental Studies
expert Ruben Safrastyan said at a press conference on Friday.
The expert said the fact that Iran is not Iraq but also a more powerful
state with lots of allies will be taken into account.
"It is also important for the U.S. that majority of the Iranian
population is well with America and it will not like to lose this,"
the expert said adding the existence of great Iranian Diaspora,
including in the U.S.
In response to the question why he believes military actions against
Iran are unlikely to start, Safrastyan said first Russia will not
want war on its frontiers. Hence, the UN Security Council cannot
approve the decision. China will likely to be against as well.
According to him, in case escalation of the situation, Russia will
make serious moves, similar to 1990s when Turkey brought closer its
troops to the border with Armenia. Regarding Iran, more possible
variant is not planning military actions but provocations.
