Alen Simonyan touches upon risks facing Armenia, particularly Syunik  region, due to  Iran-Israel conflict

ArmInfo. The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonyan, has touched upon the risks facing Armenia, particularly the Syunik region, in light of the Iran-Israel  conflict.

<We are closely monitoring the situation. However, currently, there  is no concern that this could in any way affect our relations with  our neighbor (Azerbaijan).  But, since, firstly, the communication  (with Azerbaijan) is ongoing and there are specific processes that  are currently in progress. And we do not see immediate risks (risks  for Syunik) at the moment>, he said at a briefing with journalists in  parliament on June 17.

According to him, Yerevan is in constant contact with international  partners.  Simonyan also assured that the risks in the Syunik issue  as well as the consequences of developments inside Iran and their  impact on the border situation, were assessed from the first moment  of the conflict escalation  between Tehran and Tel Aviv.  "At the  moment, there are no flows from there, nothing like that has been  recorded on our border," he said.  He also mentioned that the  situation may worsen if the conflict continues and other countries  get involved.  "We need a stable neighbor and what is happening is  unacceptable to us," the NA speaker said.
