DEFENSE MINISTER SAYS ARMENIA WANTS SUPERPOWERS AND
IRAN HAVE NORMAL RELATIONSHIPS
YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS: Armenian defense
minister Serzh Sarkisian said yesterday his country
never sought to capitalize on conflicts between
superpowers to shape its foreign policy.
During a meeting with parents of servicemen in a
Yerevan district, the minister said Armenia is eager
to see that relations between Russia and the USA,
Russia and NATO, Iran and the USA proceed normally.
"Obviously, none in Armenia would like to see a new
conflict erupt near its borders, but there are issues
in which we can act only as bystanders," he said in
response to a question whether the tension between
Iran and USA would damage Armenia.
He said in case of a U.S. strike on Iran local
Armenians may seek refuge in Armenia, but added it
would not entail what he called 'fatal consequences'
for Armenia.
