The constantly developing Armenian-Iranian relations based on a number
of bilateral agreements have not undergone and should not undergo the
pressure or reprimand of the countries beyond the region, the Iranian
Embassy in Armenia says in a statement sent to ArmInfo.
To remind, when asked if the Iranian gas price is high because of the
international sanctions against Iran, US Ambassador to Armenia John
Heffern told journalists on May 22 that since Iran did not give up its
intentions to produce nuclear weapon and failed to respect
international commitments, it would still undergo the sanctions.
Member of the UN, Armenia observes these sanctions, and the US
welcomes this position of Armenia, the ambassador said.
The Iranian Embassy says that the illegal and unilateral sanctions of
the USA and some Western countries against Iran's peaceful use of
nuclear energy have never affected the arrangements and agreements
between Armenia and Iran. The Government and people of Armenia have
repeatedly witnessed Iran's disinterested support in hours of need.
Iran's Embassy thinks that by touching on these problems, the US
Ambassador to Armenia has launched the policy of exerting pressure on
Armenia but fails to take into account the fact that such intervention
statements cannot affect the friendly and warm relations between Iran
and Armenia.
The Embassy hopes that Armenia will not sacrifice its national and
economic interests just to please the United States as it is perfectly
aware that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful.
The Embassy says that in view of the rise in energy prices in Armenia,
Iran is ready to help that country to ensure its energy security
through enlarged cooperation in this field. The Embassy believes that
accelerated construction of Meghri Water Power Plant and new joint
energy projects will help the countries to achieve their goals.
To remind, on Wednesday the U.S. Congress introduced new tighter
sanctions against Iran. Its new bill stipulates a ban on the import of
goods or services from any company owned or controlled by the Iranian
Government. It also suggests blocking all assets of companies having
anything to do with the Iranian regime and forbids providing them with
insurance services. The bill is aimed not only against Iran but also
against companies dealing with that country. It is a way to step up
pressure on the Iranian authorities and to force them to give up their
plans to produce a nuclear weapon.
