US attempts to settle the Armenian-Turkish relations are directed not
against Iran but Russia, director of the Centre for Regional Studies,
Richard Giragossian, said at today's press-conference.
"The USA has taken an attempt to link Armenia with the East so
that to distance Russia from affecting Armenia. But fortunately
the diplomatic structures of Armenia are on a higher level and did
not rise to the bite", - the analyst said and added that Armenia
strictly understands what way to develop. For this reason, it said
many times that joining NATO is not interesting to Armenia as it may
have irreversible consequences for the country, he said. Iran is a
secondary state for Armenia as long as it has the trade relations
with Russia and European Union.
When commenting on regular session of BSEC to be held on 26 June in
Turkey, he said that the session of this organization is one of few
platforms where Armenia and Turkey meet (Armenia's Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandyan is invited at this session) and is evidence of the
diplomatic relations between the two states.
