YEREVAN. - The international agreement that was reached on Thursday,
and with respect to Iran's nuclear program, has a great importance for
Armenia, Iranian Studies specialist Rudik Yaralyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
In his view, Armenia, which maintains neighborly relations with Iran,
now will get the opportunity to collaborate with this country, and in
the energy sector, first and foremost.
"Once the sanctions [on Iran] are lifted, Iran will attempt to draw a
roadmap, whereby its energy resources shall be exported to Europe,"
Yaralyan said, and added: "And in this sense, Armenia, being on its
path, may play an unprecedented role."
The analyst did not consider the option of exporting the Iranian
energy resources via Azerbaijan to be feasible.
"Azerbaijan has traditionally been under Turkey's political pressure,
and therefore Turkey itself will obstruct that, first of all," the
Iranian studies specialist noted, and added; "In the case of
Azerbaijan, its interests will be disregarded, and that country will
stay out of the game."
