Possible war in Iran may catalyze a new war in Karabakh and affect
the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Orientalist Mher
Baghdasaryan said in a press conference in Yerevan on January 12.
In case of another conflict flashpoint in the region and, in fact,
destabilization of the situation, Azerbaijan may unleash a new war.
The West is well-aware, he says, that it is impossible to make Armenia
join the sanctions against Iran for Armenia and Iran are neighbors
having good relations. In addition, for Armenia Iran is the only way
out from the blockade that has been organized by Turkey and Azerbaijan,
because the border with Georgia is rather unreliable, in this light.
The expert thinks that possible military actions in Iran will
affect the social and economic situation in Armenia considering
the economic relations of the two countries and possible inflow of
refugees. To recall, EU states adopted a decision to postpone the EU
Ministerial Meeting, which will study possible Iranian oil embargo,
from December 30 to January 23. The European Union has reiterated
plans to impose sanctions on Iran while the United States has vowed
to protect international shipping lanes after Tehran threatened to
close the vital Strait of Hormuz in response to Western measures. In
conditions of such growing tension between Iran and the Western states,
China has repeatedly come out for diplomatic resolution of the issue
for the peace and stability in the region.
