China's Silk Road initiative will be advantageous to Armenia, says
Gagik Minasyan, Chairman of the National Assembly's Standing Committee
on Financial-Credit, Budgetary and Economic Affairs, Aravot.am reports.

Speaking at the Pastark Club on April 10, Mr Minasyan referred to
the perspectives of Armenia-Chinese and Armenian-Iranian relations.

One of the routes of the new Silk Road will pass through Iran and
reach the Black Sea. It will go through Armenia or Azerbaijan. Gagik
Minasyan believes that Iran will give preference to Armenia, for it
[Iran] does not have 'good relations' with Azerbaijan. China's opinion
is equally important on the issue. Mr Minasyan says in this context,
China's interests coincide with those of Iran.
