Armenian authorities closely monitoring situation in and around Iran  - MP 

ArmInfo. Armenian authorities are closely monitoring the situation in and around Iran. This was stated by Artur Hovhannisyan, secretary of the ruling Civil Contract party faction, at a briefing on March 6.

According to him, developments on Armenia's borders with Iran are  immediately communicated to the relevant agencies. Hovhannisyan  recalled that a regular meeting of the Security Council had been held  the previous day, where all possible scenarios for developments  around Iran were discussed, including the potential risks for  Armenia.

The MP noted that all programs with Iran, for which signed documents  and agreements exist, continue to be implemented. They do not in any  way affect the agreements between Armenia and the United States or  Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In turn, Arman Yeghoyan, Chairman of the European Integration  Commission, pointed to the established peace between Armenia and  Azerbaijan. He noted that today the country is an island of peace,  which has been achieved thanks to the balanced policies of the  authorities. "Our calculations and our steps, the established  relations, from the United States to Russia and the states of the  region, show that, under all possible scenarios, the best possible  outcome is currently being achieved for the country," the  parliamentarian said, calling on journalists to evaluate this.
